Description
A rich chocolate brown hand-knotted New Zealand wool rug with sweeping cream and blue Mughal scrollwork — artisan craftsmanship that anchors any formal space.
A rectangular hand-knotted wool area rug with a deep, rich chocolate brown field covering approximately 65% of the surface. Sweeping symmetrical scrollwork in warm cream/ivory cascades across the entire field in a classic Mughal damask arrangement — large acanthus leaf and floral vine motifs mirror each other along both the vertical and horizontal axes, creating an elegant bilateral symmetry. Delicate powder blue accents appear within the scrollwork details, adding subtle jewel-tone contrast. A defined cream border with scrolling vine detail frames the entire composition, with a thin inner border separating it from the field. The pile is medium height with a smooth, dense hand-knotted texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a formal, ornate traditional rug with exceptional pattern clarity and depth.

About This Rug
The Ludlam Area Rug is a stunning hand-knotted piece crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, bringing old-world elegance to any room. Its rich dark chocolate brown field is adorned with an intricate scrolling damask and floral vine pattern in cream and soft powder blue — a classic Mughal-inspired design that feels both timeless and refined. The symmetrical layout draws the eye inward, with ornate leaf and scroll motifs cascading across the surface and a defined cream border framing the entire composition.
Made in India using traditional hand-knotting techniques, this medium-pile rug offers exceptional durability and a satisfying density underfoot — the kind of quality that holds up beautifully in high-traffic living rooms, dining rooms, or formal sitting areas. At 0.31 inches of pile height, it's plush enough to feel luxurious without being impractical. Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the wool's natural luster.
If you're looking for a rug that anchors a room with warmth, depth, and artisan craftsmanship, the Ludlam delivers on every count.
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.
