Description
Imperial is a traditional vintage rug in the Midnight colourway, a rectangular rug with a rich, ornate pattern of damask-style motifs set in rows across its whole surface. Cream scrolls, leaves and flourishes stand out against a deep blue ground, and fine darker streaks run across the width, giving the design the softened, slightly faded look of a rug that has been loved for years. Close up the motifs are intricate and layered.
Its blue and cream colouring sits comfortably in a living room or sitting room, on wooden boards or a pale carpet, and it suits period homes and traditional schemes. We sell it in three sizes. The 120 by 170cm rug is a good fit in front of an armchair or beside a bed, the 160 by 235cm size sits well under a coffee table with the front feet of a sofa on it, and the 200 by 285cm rug is large enough to anchor a bigger seating area or sit under a double bed.
Practically, the busy pattern is forgiving: the mix of blue, cream and darker tones means everyday marks and footprints are less likely to catch the eye than on a plain rug. To choose a size, measure the space first and mark it out on the floor with masking tape; a rug that leaves a band of floor showing around its edges tends to look settled and in proportion.

Frequently Asked
What sizes does the Imperial rug come in?
We sell the Imperial rug in three rectangular sizes: 120 by 170cm, 160 by 235cm and 200 by 285cm, so there is a size for smaller and larger rooms alike.
What colours are in the Midnight colourway?
Midnight is a deep blue ground with an ornate cream pattern over it, plus fine darker streaks that give the rug its softly faded, vintage look.
Which size works under a sofa and coffee table?
The 160 by 235cm rug lets the front feet of a sofa rest on it with a coffee table in the middle, while the 200 by 285cm size suits a larger seating area.
Will this rug suit a traditional room?
Yes, its ornate damask-style motifs and faded vintage finish sit naturally in period homes and traditional schemes, and the blue and cream colouring keeps the look calm rather than busy.
Is the Imperial rug available as a runner?
No, Imperial comes as a rectangular rug in three sizes rather than a runner; the smallest, 120 by 170cm, suits a bedside or a reading corner.
