When is a rug not a rug?
When it’s a piece of wall art!
The new stamp rugs are almost too good to be trodden on so I’d opt to use it as a piece of art instead. Given the amount of detail it has with it’s hand carved ‘perforated’ edges and the relief Queen’s head it will make a statement whether it’s on your wall or under foot.
If you start off using it as a piece of art, when you’re bored of seeing it on the wall it can revert back to its original use as a rug. There aren’t many pieces of art you can justify walking on after you’ve had enough of them! Prices start at £695 which clearly isn’t the cheapest rug around but the detail is amazing and given it has two uses you could view it as a piece of art for £350 and a rug for the same amount. There are a number of colours to choose from as well as sizes. The rugs are hand woven in New Zealand wool in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal so they are proper, proper rugs if you know what I mean. And the UK designers belong to ‘Good Weave’ which is a global non-profit organisation working to end child exploitation in the weaving industry and offer educational opportunities to children.
