A warm ivory ground gives the whole design an airy, almost watercolour quality, across which paired thrushes, sprawling botanical forms, and fruit-laden branches unfold in full symmetry. The birds are rendered in soft terracotta and latte, their spotted plumage picked out with gentle precision, while the foliage spreads in layered chambray blue and cool aqua across the field. Blush peach and warm sand weave through the blooms and fruit clusters, keeping the palette from reading as simply cool. The composition is fully symmetrical — birds face each other across a central tulip medallion in the upper field, while a lower register shows two more birds, heads dipped toward a cluster of hanging fruit. Every corner is filled with botanical detail, yet nothing feels crowded. Pattern without weight. The border shifts the mood just enough — a deeper periwinkle-blue outer band grounds the composition and gives the rug its quiet authority, while a fine running wave in cream provides the transition back to the ivory field. Worked in LoomBloom's loop-and-cut pile technique using high-twist wool, the surface holds the fine line of each leaf and feather with clarity, and sheds significantly less than comparable hand-hooked pieces. A rug that lives easily alongside natural linens, whitewashed walls, and rooms that breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 8x10, 9x12\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Hooked Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Ivory, Blue, Aqua, Tan, Latte, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH19368A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the collection Some designs were never meant to stay flat on a wall. William Morris spent his life drawing the natural world — its tangled branches, its bold blooms, its birds caught mid-flight — with a devotion that went far beyond decoration. At LoomBloom, we asked a simple question: what happens when those designs come alive underfoot? The answer is this collection. Each rug begins with Morris's original botanical vocabulary — the layered foliage, the mirrored bird pairs, the endlessly scrolling vines — and translates it into hand-hooked wool using our loop-and-cut pile technique. Where Morris worked in ink and dye on flat cloth, our artisans work in three dimensions, varying the cut and loop across each design zone so that petals sit differently from leaves, and stems read differently from grounds. The result is a surface with genuine depth — one that shifts as light moves across it through the day. The collection spans seven colorways — from a near-black garden dense with forest greens and coral roses, to an airy antique-white field scattered with powder-blue birds and terracotta blooms. There is something here for every room- rooms that want drama, and rooms that want calm. Innovative Loop \u0026amp; Cut Pile Technique Unlike machine-tufted rugs where pile height is uniform and anonymous, LoomBloom's artisans vary the loop-to-cut ratio across each design zone. Botanical fills carry uncut loops for a subtle gleam; flower heads are cut for softness; stem tracery alternates for dimensionality. The result is a surface that reads like a Morris original — with depth, shadow, and light that shift as you move around the room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"8x10","offer_id":52147506086181,"sku":"ORH19368A","price":799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9x12","offer_id":52147506118949,"sku":"ORH19368B","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A19368_20ebay_f82de310-426e-4af4-99d4-76c5a65f57a4.jpg?v=1774347813","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/ivory-handhooked-williammorris-orh19368","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
