Presidio Hand Tufted Rug

About this rug

This hand-tufted rug has an all-over windowpane grid. Raised ivory lines frame small squares of heathered blue loops, from powder blue and blue-gray to soft denim with a few navy strands, so no two squares match. There is no border and no fringe, only a slim blue wrapped edge, and no top or bottom, so it can face any direction. The face is 100% wool in a low loop pile, 0.3 inch deep and about half an inch thick overall. It is made in India. The ivory lines are a thicker loop than the squares, which gives the matte surface a gentle nubby relief. The squares look to be roughly 1 to 2 inches at every size, so an 8' × 10' reads as a finer blue texture than the full-rug photo. It suits a calm bedroom or living room, coastal or modern, with light upholstery and pale wood. Sizes run from 2' × 3' to 12' × 15', plus a 3' × 10' runner and custom sizes. The 5' × 8' size measures 5' × 7'6". Care is professional rug cleaning only; it is not washable, so blot spills right away. The cloth back has no grip, so use a rug pad on hard floors. New wool sheds at first and settles with gentle vacuuming. At about half an inch thick before a pad, it may catch a low door, so measure the gap first.
