Telares Area Rug

A celebration and fusion of the traditional kilim and dhurrie rug. The Nanimarquina Telares Area Rug is an artful composition of shapes and color delighting in its rustic, contemporary aesthetic. The Nanimarquina Team develops pieces that showcase traditional techniques and present them in a new light. The unique stamp of the artisan, imperfections and all, is key to this design. The piece uses the intricate weaving technique of traditional kilims but substitutes the often geometric design for a more flowing movement of organic shapes. The rug is crafted by artisans in India using Afghan wool. A variation in its weft pressure gives the piece its soft, textured look. The color of the rug shifts elegantly from strand to strand with a cohesiveness to it. Hand-stitched curly fringes outline the rug in a light, feathery accent.
