{"product_id":"ooty-hand-tufted-rug","title":"Ooty Hand-Tufted Rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ooty is a summer garden in full flower. Big orange and marigold peonies, their petals traced in fuchsia, open across a pale dove-grey ground, and around them comes everything else in the bed: white and lilac blooms, sprays of pink buds on fine navy stems, olive and cornflower-blue leaves, and small blue and navy birds with white eyes darting between it all. It takes its name from the hill town whose botanical garden fills with blooms every May, and it has the same cheerful excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is hand-tufted in New Zealand wool. Each strand is punched through a cotton canvas backing with a hand-held tool, then the pile is sheared level by hand. The colour is laid in flat, unshaded blocks, so a peony is built from orange, marigold and a single fuchsia line rather than a blend, and the drawing reads bold and graphic, closer to a painted chintz than to a traditional carpet. Nine colours sit side by side with no outline between them, and each one stops cleanly where the next begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a rug that sets the colour of a room rather than follows it. On a dark floor against plain walls, as photographed, it does the work of a painting. It takes well to blue and white prints, ikat, cane and warm wood, and because orange and blue carry equal weight across the field, it sits as happily in a warm scheme as a cool one. At 4 × 6 ft it is at home beside a reading chair, at the foot of a bed, or in a child's room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA new tufted wool rug sheds some loose fibre for the first few weeks; it settles with regular vacuuming. The busy pattern is forgiving of everyday marks, but the pale ground will hold a spill that is left, so blot promptly, and rotate it twice a year to keep wear even. Made-to-order sizes are redrawn rather than stretched: on a larger rug the pattern is extended across the field instead of scaled up, so the blooms and birds stay the size you see here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4 × 6 ft rug photographed here is in stock and ready to ship. Four larger standard sizes, up to 9 × 12 ft, are made to order in 4–6 weeks, as is any size cut to your exact measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-tufted, sheared level by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: New Zealand wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacking: cotton canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: orange, marigold, fuchsia, navy, cornflower blue, olive, lilac and ivory on a pale grey ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIvory wool-bound edges, no fringe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard sizes: 4 × 6, 5 × 8, 6 × 9, 8 × 10 and 9 × 12 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 × 6 ft in stock; other sizes and custom sizes made to order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Art Avenue","offers":[{"title":"4×6 ft","offer_id":46262332489775,"sku":"AA-RUG-OOTY-0406","price":21600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5×8 ft","offer_id":46262332522543,"sku":"AA-RUG-OOTY-0508","price":36000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6×9 ft","offer_id":46262332555311,"sku":"AA-RUG-OOTY-0609","price":48600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8×10 ft","offer_id":46262332588079,"sku":"AA-RUG-OOTY-0810","price":72000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9×12 ft","offer_id":46262332620847,"sku":"AA-RUG-OOTY-0912","price":97200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/5513\/9631\/files\/DSC_0533.jpg?v=1790680775","url":"https:\/\/www.artavenue.com\/products\/ooty-hand-tufted-rug","provider":"Art Avenue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
