Modern Damask Crimson Handmade Wool & Silk Rug “Emberoque” N12896 8'0" × 9'9" $14,000

An allover damask in glowing crimson gives Emberoque its quiet drama, with stylized floral and foliate forms drifting across the field in a low-contrast repeat. Rather than relying on a border or medallion, the design builds a continuous decorative rhythm that feels tailored and composed, ideal for interiors that call for warmth with restraint.

Hand-knotted in wool and silk, the rug pairs a matte, textural foundation with subtle luminous accents that catch the light along the pattern. The surface reads softly embossed, adding depth without harsh relief, while the tonal red palette keeps the ornamentation refined and easy to layer with wood, leather, stone, or upholstered furnishings.

Named Emberoque—a fusion of ember and baroque—the rug reflects both the richness of its crimson glow and the classical elegance of its damask motif. As a modern rug with a traditional vocabulary, it offers a polished grounding piece for formal living rooms, libraries, and transitional spaces where pattern should feel elegant rather than busy.
