Berko Hand Tufted Rug

About this rug

This rug takes the large, widely spaced palmettes and thin vines of an Oushak and softens them into warm taupe, cream, wheat and a few caramel-gold blooms. A cream border with a small vine frames the field. The contrast is low, so the pattern looks quiet from across a room and more detailed up close. It is hand tufted in India with a 100% wool face and a medium pile about 1/2 in tall, on a canvas backing. The blossoms stand a touch higher and loopier than the ground, which gives it a nubby, hand-drawn feel. It is soft underfoot and rated for high traffic. Wool sheds at first. Sizes run from 2' × 3' to 9' × 12', plus an 18 in sample. The 5' × 7'6" is 6 in shorter than a standard 5' × 8'. Custom sizes up to 12' × 18' and rounds can be made. It suits a living room, dining room or bedroom that mixes wood, linen and classic shapes. Spot clean only, with water. It has no grip back, so use a felt-and-rubber pad, and keep it out of strong sun.
