Know before you buy
Hand-knotting is a labor-intensive, traditional technique where each knot is tied individually by hand. This results in superior durability and a unique, artisanal depth that machine-made rugs simply cannot replicate.
Because it is a flatweave with a very low pile, this rug has a firm, sleek feel rather than a plush or cushioned one. It is ideal for high-style, low-profile placement, such as under dining tables or in entryways where door clearance is a concern.
This rug is rated for medium traffic. While it is durable enough for living rooms or bedrooms, it may show wear more quickly in high-traffic hallways or busy entryways compared to a heavy-duty synthetic rug.
This rug should be vacuumed regularly to remove dust and debris. Because of its delicate hand-knotted construction, avoid using a beater bar on your vacuum, and spot clean only as needed with a damp cloth.
No, this rug is designed for indoor use only. The blend of wool and cotton is not treated to withstand the moisture, UV exposure, or temperature fluctuations found outdoors.
Yes, we highly recommend using a rug pad. It will prevent the rug from slipping on hard floors, add a layer of cushioning to the thin pile, and help protect the backing from premature wear.
