Know before you buy
Because this is a low-pile flatweave, it has a firm, structured feel rather than a plush or cushioned one. While it is made from soft New Zealand wool, it is designed for durability and a sleek profile rather than deep, sink-in comfort.
Yes, the 100% New Zealand wool construction is highly durable and naturally resistant to wear, making it an excellent choice for busy spaces. Its flatweave design also means it is less likely to show tracking or matting over time.
Yes, a rug pad is highly recommended. Because this rug has a low profile of 1/8 inch, a pad will provide essential grip to prevent slipping and add a necessary layer of cushioning to protect the fibers.
Wool is naturally stain-resistant, but you should blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent absorption. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the handwoven fibers.
Absolutely. The low-pile, flatweave construction makes it an ideal base layer for adding texture and pattern to a room without creating a tripping hazard or interfering with door clearance.
The rug features a rich palette of tan, ivory, navy, and sienna, but because it is handwoven using natural wool, slight variations in color and tone are expected. These subtle shifts are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure each piece is unique.
