The Michie is a traditional area rug with a worn-in look. About seven columns of arched panels run between deep end borders of scrolling vines. Heart-shaped knots link the panels, and small rosettes and sprigs fill them. The motifs are deep navy and denim on a cool off-white ground.
Worn-look white patches and pale blue-gray washes are woven into the pattern, so the new rug looks gently aged. It is machine woven in Turkey. The face is solution-dyed polypropylene on a jute warp, with slim serged edges and no fringe.
The cut pile is short and soft underfoot, but the rug is thin rather than plush, so dining chairs slide in and out easily. The back has no grip, so the rug needs a pad, and a thin grip pad suits the spot where it meets a door. It arrives rolled, and the roll waves usually settle within a week or two. Under warm lamps the off-white reads cream and the navy looks deeper.
