Villeroy & Boch 1870 Short Pile Rug Etienne | S25387 |
The medallion: that ancient symbol of wholeness and centre, where pattern radiates outward from grounded heart. The Villeroy & Boch Etienne Rug brings this classical motif into floral expression, creating pieces where botanical beauty and geometric precision dance in perfect harmony, all rendered with the technical excellence this heritage brand has perfected since 1748.
What immediately distinguishes the Etienne is its extraordinary weave density: approximately 2.8 million dots per square metre, creating pattern clarity that approaches photographic quality. Each floral element, each curving vine, each delicate petal receives precise rendering. This isn't approximation but rather botanical accuracy, design that rewards close inspection as much as it commands attention from across rooms.
The vibrant floral medallion pattern speaks of European textile traditions whilst feeling utterly contemporary. The central medallion anchors composition with authority, surrounding florals provide rhythmic movement, borders frame everything with refined intention. Rendered in colours that remain clear and detailed through the dense weave, the pattern brings both presence and nuance.
Crafted from durable polypropylene, the rug offers robust construction without sacrificing the soft texture that invites bare feet. This material resilience makes it ideal for high-traffic areas: living rooms serving as family heart, dining spaces hosting gatherings, hallways welcoming constant passage. The short pile maintains pattern clarity whilst remaining comfortable underfoot.
The overlocked edges, complemented by soft fringes, provide finishing that speaks to quality craftsmanship. These deliberate details frame the medallion design with intention, creating refined completion rather than abrupt termination. The non-slip 100% latex backing ensures exceptional stability, keeping the rug precisely positioned whilst adding secure grip even on smooth floors.
Compatible with underfloor heating systems, the Etienne welcomes warmth rising through fibres, providing technical functionality alongside aesthetic beauty. The construction ensures safe performance without compromising heating efficiency or rug longevity.
To preserve the extraordinary weave density's clarity and maintain elegant appearance through decades, professional cleaning is recommended. This investment in specialist care ensures the rug retains its museum-quality precision, becoming treasured heirloom rather than temporary décor.
This is Villeroy & Boch at its finest: where centuries of European excellence meet contemporary needs, where technical precision serves floral artistry, where medallion tradition receives modern rendering worthy of the legacy.
