Lot 18: Milano Rugs CO. UK Pona Pattern Large Modern Shaggy Pile Area Rug

A large, modern area rug manufactured in Turkey for Milano Rugs CO. UK. The rug features the Pona pattern, characterized by a shaggy, high-pile polyester construction with a “carved” or contoured geometric design. The abstract pattern consists of interlocking organic shapes resembling pebbles or stones in a three-colour palette of red, light grey, and dark grey. The edges of the color blocks are physically recessed into the pile to create a textured, three-dimensional effect. The reverse features a machine-woven grid backing.

An adhesive manufacturer’s label is attached to the reverse corner, printed with the brand name “Pona” in a stylized script, followed by “By Milano Rugs CO. UK”. The label specifies the material as “%100 POLYESTER” and identifies the origin as “MADE IN TURKEY” alongside a Turkish flag icon. Further technical details printed on the label include “QUALITY: PONA (CARVED)”, “DESIGN: 1411”, “COLOR: RED-GREY”, and a vertical number “111144512”. Hand-written in ink on the label is the alphanumeric code “12893 D”. Care and maintenance icons are also present at the bottom of the label.
