The Obsidian Night

"The Desert at Midnight."

The desert is not always golden. When the sun sets over the Black Desert, the landscape transforms into a world of deep, volcanic shadows. The Obsidian Night captures this dramatic contrast.


This rug features a profound charcoal-black base, interrupted by rhythmic bands of cream shag and flat-woven tribal 'constellation' motifs. It is the silence of the midnight dunes, woven into wool.

Commission Notes

"Weaving the deep charcoal-black foundation of 'The Obsidian Night' requires carefully sourced, darkly dyed wool to ensure absolute color depth without fading. The artisan must meticulously execute the raised cream 'constellation' motifs, preventing the dark base fibers from bleeding into the stark white shag. You are commissioning a masterpiece of high-contrast tribal artistry."
