Large 110 silk square Oriental Rug
A Persian rug with central medallion, arabesques and palmettes, burgundy, gold and blue on cream, framed by successive ornamental borders. A large square designed like a manufactured rug, to be draped.
The 110 x 110 is worn like a stole or shawl: draped open on the shoulders, folded in a triangle and tied in front, or slipped over the arms for an evening out. It's the format that covers, the one you take with you over a summer or formal dress.
The Wearing Experience
- Burgundy and gold is a winter pairing: over a black or camel coat, the stole dresses without weighing down.
- The central medallion falls at the back as a shawl; the multiple borders are found at the points.
- Folded in a triangle, it covers the shoulders and upper arms: a silk stole that weighs nothing.
- Draped open, the center of the design appears whole at the back, like a tapestry piece.
Craftsmanship & Material
The Oriental Rug square is printed in Italy on a 100% natural silk twill, the same tight weave with discrete diagonal as our 90 squares, recognizable by its dense hand and resistance to wrinkles. The printing is done in high definition, which restores the engraving line of the design, then fixed to withstand hand washing. The edges are hand-rolled: rolled and sewn with a needle, never machine overcast.
The 110 cm is cut from the same twill as the 90, which makes it much lighter than a woven stole: it folds into a bag and unfolds on the shoulders. The designs in this format are composed around a large central medallion, the one you see once the square is draped. To understand what distinguishes a twill from a silk satin, we have detailed our criteria in silk square, twill or satin.
Styling Tips
- Over a black coat, draped as a stole, medallion at the back.
- With a cream dress, in a large triangle on the shoulders.
- Over a burgundy sweater and camel pants, as a shawl slipped over the arms.
This format is found throughout the collection of large 110x110 silk squares, to wear as a stole. All formats are gathered in the Misciano silk squares collection. To go further: choose the silk square size that fits just right.
Care for Your Piece
A 110 requires a large basin and drying flat on two towels; never hang it wet, the weight of water would deform the rolled edge. Cold water, gentle soap, no prolonged soaking or wringing; dry flat away from sunlight, iron on the reverse at low temperature, dry iron. The steps are detailed in hand washing a silk square.
