Eugenie Wool & Bamboo Silk Hand-Knotted Rug by Peter d’Ascoli #1

The Eugenie Hand-Knotted Rug, designed by Peter d’Ascoli, epitomizes the elegance of the Second Empire Period under Emperor Napoleon III of France. This exquisite piece draws inspiration from the opulent floral patterns of that era and is named in honor of Empress Eugénie. Part of the Gilded Age collection, it is meticulously hand-knotted in Rural India using a luxurious mix of wool and bamboo silk. The intricate floral and tropical motifs are brought to life through a unique carving technique known as Gultarash—meaning "finding the flower"—which adds depth and texture to the design for a striking sculpted effect. Rendered in rich tones of Dark Green and Bronze Green, this rug seamlessly marries vintage charm with contemporary craftsmanship, making it a stunning centerpiece that elevates any interior space.
