Sarayli Hand Tufted Rug

About this rug

A hand-tufted wool rug with a calm windowpane grid. Pale gray panes with a soft blue-sage cast sit inside sand bands, each band carrying a thin ivory pinstripe, and a small charcoal cross knot marks every crossing. There is no border and no fringe; the grid runs to the edges. It is made in India with a 100% wool face on a canvas backing. The panes and bands are tight wool loops, soft underfoot but firm rather than plush, with a 0.4-inch medium pile and a total thickness of 0.7 inch. It sheds at first, as new wool does. In warm light the panes read deeper and warmer than in the product photo, so the 18-inch sample is a good way to check the color at home. Choose the 8' × 10' for an 84-inch sofa with chairs, front legs on, or a queen bed set crosswise; the 9' × 12' and 10' × 14' suit a king bed or an eight-seat table. The 5' × 7'6" size, filed as 5x8, is 6 inches shorter than a true 5' × 8'. Custom sizes up to 12' × 18' and rounds can be ordered. The larger sizes arrive rolled and heavy, so plan on two people. Spot clean only, with water only; it is not washable. Blot spills at once, vacuum without a beater bar and use a rug pad so it stays put. Keep it out of strong sun and rotate it every six to twelve months.
