The Ives Collection
Nancy Nicholson Studios
Devon, England
100 x 100cm. The hearth is a place of security and warmth. A pedestal on which great ponderings are built. The Ives Hearth rug is no exception. The stable square composition offers a still circle in which to focus and an offset border to envelop and protect. Bring your knuckles to your chin and gaze, Atlas-like, into the flames. 100% woollen weft and cotton warp.
150 x 105cm. Convivial and unexpected, The Ives Two Sphere Bedside rug pulls table legs and wine glasses into conversations with its circles. Balance and energy fizz around the soft curves of the composition, inviting peaceful ebullience. 100% woollen weft and cotton warp.
150 x 105cm. A ladder from the dark of sleep, up, out and into the day. A soft haven for slippers and bare toes alike. Made from a linen warp with a braid at each corner. 100% woollen weft.
200 x 200cm Expansive space calls for bold delineation. The Ives Giant rug is at home with large families and towering ceilings, with games of marbles and sleeping wolf hounds. Woven in three panels darned together. 100% woollen weft and cotton warp.
