This textural concept is formed by the considered use of colour within the pile, the handcutting of high\/low pile contrasting height of wool pile and silk pile, as well as the reflective qualities of the silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Creative Process of Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is handknotted with expert craftsmanship of weaving as well as finishing. Wool and silk are dyed with chrome dyes which allow uniformity of tone as well as subtle and stable colourways. The warp threads which run longitudinally throught the carpet are what the wool yarn and silk threads are knotted onto by hand. Inbetween each row of knots cotton wefts are woven across the width of the carpet over and under the warp threads.  This carpet is weighty in it's artistry but also substantial with it's use of quality natural materials and fine knotting. The raw materal used in it's creation are 60% wool, 20% Silk and 20% cotton ( the warp and weft foundation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColours of the Earth and Sky\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clay-earth tones of warm and cool neutrals will work well in many interiors needing a modern vibe but keeping the palette more understated. The wool pile has greys ranging from light greys to mid greys to deep charcaol-greys. The magnificent silk highlighted areas are in high contrast in a natural creamy light ivory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: India,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 304 x 240cm \/ 10'0\" x 7'11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: High-low pile 10-12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: Wool and Silk, Handknotted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081598144843,"sku":"TORM-1058-TWILIGHT DUSK CARPET-304 X 240CM","price":4395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Dusk-3.04x2.40m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786283445","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/twilight-dusk-carpet","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
