Glasshouse Botanical Rug

Cream floral rug in green, brown and orange, echoing the lighter floral textiles of the late 19th century. The later decades of the Victorian period saw a significant shift in decorative textile design away from the heavy, densely packed patterns of the mid-century towards lighter, more airy compositions influenced by the Aesthetic Movement's enthusiasm for Japanese design and the reforming critics who called for simplicity, space and a more disciplined use of natural ornament. Designers in this lighter mode drew on botanical illustration's tradition of precisely observed individual specimens placed against clean grounds, creating textiles that felt fresh and modern while remaining firmly rooted in the English love of flowers as the primary language of domestic decoration. This rug is a beautiful addition to any room, and a lovely gift for any admirer of the lighter, more contemplative tradition in Victorian decorative design.

Do not use water on a viscose rug. Don't use too much cleaning solution. Since the viscose fibres are very absorbent, abstain from using too much solution in order to avoid oversaturating your rug. Be gentle, dry it fast and brush the carpet. Don't use a vacuum cleaner
