South American Rug

100% Wool, Natural

The field is left entirely open, given over to a dense, uniform surface of thick, chunky loops arranged in a basketweave-like pattern that catches light unevenly across its bumpy texture. A magnified inset in the lower right highlights the coarse, twisted structure of the individual loops. Along the lower edge, long, loosely twisted fringe hangs in irregular strands, echoing the same undyed, creamy tone that runs throughout the piece with only faint natural variegation.

South American Rug

100% Wool, Light Gray

The surface is built of thick, rounded knots arranged in a regular grid, each pale strand crossing over a taupe-toned bundle to form a raised, basket-like texture. A close-up inset highlights the chunky interlacing structure, where the ivory and neutral tones alternate to create a subtle checked effect. The lower edge finishes in long, loosely twisted fringe left uncut and irregular in length.
