Crescent carpet: a designer's guide to the hand-loomed line, the fibers and where it belongs
Crescent carpet is hand-loomed wool broadloom from Crescent, the Stanton brand launched in 2016, with a tailored, menswear palette of cords, grids, tweeds and tonal stripes. It is for the designer who wants the dense, hand-made surface of a hand-loomed wool with a pattern that reads as texture, on a stair, in a hall or across a whole house. Interiors carries 59 Crescent styles, 54 broadloom and 5 area rugs in the mill's standard sizes, on the Crescent brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts.
The mill
Crescent sits beside Antrim in the Stanton family: the same hand-loomed construction, a slightly more tailored look. Hand-loomed means the yarn is drawn through a backing on a manual loom rather than a tufting machine, which gives the goods a slightly irregular surface and a dense, heavy hand. Where Antrim leans to ribs, loops and heathered naturals, Crescent leans to cords, grids and tweeds in a palette that would be at home on a tailor's shelf. The ordering, sampling and shipping run through the Stanton program, which is why Crescent carpet is as easy to specify as any larger line.
What we carry
Of the 59 styles, 57 are hand-loomed, with 1 flatweave and 1 hand-tufted. By fiber, 33 styles are wool, 17 wool blend, 6 polyester, 2 polypropylene and 1 nylon. Wool is the reason to specify this mill: it is resilient, hides soil in its tweeds and heathers, and cleans well, and in a hand-loomed construction the pile has real weight underfoot. The wool blends keep most of that hand at a lower net. The polyester styles are the softest and the most saturated in color, and they belong in bedrooms; the polypropylene styles are solution-dyed and are the ones to look at where spills and sun are a given.
Roll width is 15 ft on 53 of the styles, with one style at 14 ft. A 15 ft roll covers most bedrooms and many living rooms without a seam. By pattern, 20 styles are textures, 13 stripes, 12 plaids and checks, 6 solids and 4 abstract and modern. Every style is made to order; 54 are flagged custom rug available and 8 are rated for indoor and outdoor use.
Collections to know
Tailor Made, 26 styles, is the core of the line and the group most designers use for stairs and halls: flat, dense, with pattern that reads as texture. Chalet (8 styles) and Rustic Roots (2) are heavier, more relaxed textures for a mountain or coastal house. The Cabana Collection has 6 styles and the core Crescent collection 6. Heritage has 3, and Crescent Statement, Britannia and Encore 2 each. Styles to know include Aiden, Ancestry, Anabelle, Ashton, Ashford, Baragos, Barron and the Bedford Cord Rug.
Where it belongs
Crescent is the stair and hall carpet in the Stanton hand-loomed family. The Tailor Made cords and grids are flat and dense, so a Crescent stair runner wraps the nosing cleanly and the stripe stays straight down the flight. In an entry or a hall, the tweeds and small checks hide tracking the way a good suit cloth hides a crease. For a living room or a bedroom in a mountain or coastal house, Chalet and Rustic Roots give a heavier, more relaxed texture. The plaids and checks suit a study or a den as the room's one strong move. The 8 indoor-and-outdoor styles are for a covered porch or a sunroom. Keep the polyester styles to bedrooms, where softness is the point and crush is not a risk.
Custom rugs and runners
Any of the 54 broadloom styles flagged custom rug available can be cut and bound into a runner or custom-size rug through our Design Studio. Crescent rugs made this way take advantage of the 15 ft roll: a room-size wool rug in a cord or a tweed with no seam. The 5 Crescent area rugs, including the Bedford Cord Rug, come in the mill's standard sizes. For a stair runner, send us the tread count and tread width and we will draw it and quote it net.

Questions designers ask
Is Crescent carpet good quality?
Yes, for a hand-loomed wool. The construction gives a dense, heavy hand, 50 of the 59 styles are wool or wool blend, and the Tailor Made group is flat enough to wear well on stairs and in halls. As with any hand-made goods, sample first: the surface has a slight irregularity that is part of the look.
What is the difference between Crescent and Antrim?
Same construction, different palette. Both are hand-loomed Stanton brands. Antrim leans to ribs, loops, herringbones and heathered naturals; Crescent leans to cords, grids, tweeds and tonal stripes with a tailored, menswear feel. If the brief is a quiet textural neutral, start with Antrim; if it wants a cord or a check on the stair, start with Crescent.
How much does Crescent carpet cost?
Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish Crescent carpet prices. Within the line, cost is driven by fiber, polypropylene and polyester lowest and wool highest, by construction, and by the width and yardage of the cut. Ask us for the net on two or three candidate styles and we will send it with the samples.
Where is Crescent carpet made?
Our catalog does not record a country of origin for the Crescent styles, and the mill of origin can vary by style. Ask us for the spec sheet on the specific style you are considering and we will confirm where it is made before you specify it.
Where can I buy Crescent carpet?
Through Stanton dealers and trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 59 Crescent styles for interior design professionals, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. Samples ship from the mill to your office.
Can Crescent carpet be made into a rug or stair runner?
Yes. Custom rug is available on 54 of the 59 styles, cut and bound through our Design Studio, and Crescent stair runners in the Tailor Made cords are among the most common orders we place with the mill. The 5 area rugs come in standard sizes.
