Among our most opulent offerings, our Urban Fresco rugs are hand-knotted in India using a Persian knotting style. These rugs demand around 3000 man-hours to craft, from yarn dying to final completion. Meticulously constructed from a combination of wool and silk, the unique vintage appearance is achieved through an oxidation process, which results in the wool having a lower pile than the silk threads. This distinctive effect contributes to a well-worn and vintage motif.Originally part of our Urban Fresco Collection, remaining pieces of Foundry Zinc are now available through our Archive Sale. This sophisticated, oxidized wool and silk design in a moody palette is hand knotted in India.
