The Emperor 310 Onyx EMP10 Muted Gold Runner brings a sense of understated luxury to the home, with its layered marbled abstract design and soft metallic sheen that shifts beautifully as the light changes. Textured veining, weathered tonal transitions, and stone-like depth create a natural, fluid movement across the surface. The hi-low sculpted pile adds tactile richness and dimensional interest, giving the rug a refined, contemporary finish that feels both elegant and effortlessly modern.

Expertly machine-woven in Turkey from a durable polypropylene and polyester blend, this rug features a super-soft 12 mm pile that is comfortable underfoot, non-shedding, and easy to maintain. The fibres are light-reactive, meaning the rug can appear lighter or darker depending on viewing angle and lighting, enhancing the sense of depth and quiet sophistication.

Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan interiors, the Emperor Onyx Muted Gold Rug blends warm and cool tones seamlessly, making it a versatile centrepiece for contemporary, neutral, or softly opulent spaces.

The colours and shades present in this runner include:

• Soft Grey – The dominant background tone, providing a calm and contemporary neutral base.

• Taupe Beige – Layered naturally through the pattern for warmth and grounding balance.

• Charcoal Grey – Introduced in shadowed areas to enhance definition and contrast.

• Muted Gold – Applied in painterly highlights, adding a soft metallic sheen and elegant luminosity.

• Off-White – Woven into distressed transitions to brighten the composition and soften tonal edges.

• Pewter – Present in deeper textured segments to add depth and tonal complexity.

The Emperor 310 Onyx EMP10 Muted Gold Runner blends Soft Grey, Taupe Beige, Charcoal Grey, Muted Gold, Off-White, and Pewter into a harmonious, warm-cool palette enhanced by a light-reactive sheen and luxurious 12 mm hi-low textured pile. With its polyblend construction and refined abstract marbled design, it delivers both comfort and elevated modern style, making it an exceptional choice for elegant, serene, and contemporary interiors.

🧵 Cut Pile Rug Characteristics
Every rug has a pile direction — the direction in which the fibres run. With a cut pile rug with a shimmer, light reflects off the fibres differently, which can make the rug appear lighter or darker depending on where you are standing. You can see this by looking at the rug from one end of the room, then walking to the other end and looking back — it may appear darker in one direction and lighter in the other. This is not a manufacturing fault but a natural characteristic of cut pile rugs. It’s worth keeping in mind when deciding where to place the rug, especially if the appearance of it being lighter or darker from one side might matter in your space. This effect is in ranges such as Aurora, Craft, and Apollo.
