The green of dusk in open country, fields fading to shadow before the hedgerows disappear. Four long, even bands of deep green run the length of the room, each divided by a thread of black, like a map folded into quarters.

• Four green bands: long, even and calm
• Black dividing threads: a fine line between each band
• Deep, even nap: hand-knotted in Jodhpur, absorbing rather than reflecting light
• Runner-friendly proportions: beneath a low bench or long settle
• Best placed: beneath a Georgian cornice or a concrete ceiling
