Description
Bold, moody, and full of character — the Chesham is a hand-knotted NZ wool rug with a dramatic overdyed black and blue Persian medallion design that commands attention.
A rectangular hand-knotted wool rug with a deep near-black charcoal ground saturated with a vivid teal and cobalt blue overdye. The central field features a large elongated hexagonal medallion composed of layered geometric diamond and floral-lattice motifs in teal, blue, and dark gray. Surrounding the medallion is an allover field of smaller repeating geometric and floral-inspired motifs in the same blue-teal palette against the black ground. The rug is framed by multiple concentric borders — a narrow inner guard border and a wider outer border filled with repeating geometric ornaments in blue and teal on black. The construction is flat and low with a slightly worn, distressed surface texture consistent with an overdyed vintage finish. Edges are bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is moody, jewel-toned, and richly patterned — like a classic Persian rug dipped in midnight blue ink.

About This Rug
The Chesham Area Rug is a striking hand-knotted wool piece that blends deep black and moody blue tones in a classic Persian medallion design with an overdyed finish. The rich, jewel-toned palette — dominated by near-black charcoal with vivid teal and cobalt blue accents — gives this rug a dramatic, contemporary edge while honoring centuries-old Oriental craftsmanship. Made in India from 100% New Zealand wool, it features an intricate geometric medallion layout surrounded by layered borders, all rendered in a low, flat construction that makes it easy to maintain and ideal for high-traffic areas.
The overdyed treatment creates a beautifully worn, slightly distressed look that feels both vintage and fresh at the same time. At just 0.28 inches thick, it lays flat and works beautifully as a layering piece over natural fiber rugs. Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the rich color depth.
Whether anchoring a moody living room, a library, or a sophisticated bedroom, the Chesham brings bold personality and artisan quality to any space.
Care & Cleaning
To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.
