Serko Hand Tufted Rug

About this rug

This rug takes its layout from old Anatolian and Caucasian village rugs. One large stepped medallion sits at the center, dark espresso around a plum cross, with small tulip-like buds and a diamond heart. Four branching sprigs fill the corners of a faded red field, and a sand border carries a plum leaf vine all the way around. It is hand tufted in India from 100% wool, with a medium pile just under half an inch high and a canvas back. The field has a streaked, uneven tone that gives it a lived-in depth. It is soft underfoot, and like most tufted wool it sheds at first. The medallion is large, so the rug reads best centered under a coffee table, a dining table or across the foot of a bed. At 0.7 in thick it needs a felt-and-rubber pad to stay put, and it may catch a low door. Sizes run from 2' × 3' to 10' × 14'. The 5' × 7'6" is 6 in shorter than a 5' × 8'. Custom sizes, rounds included, go up to 12' × 18'. Spot clean only, with water only. Keep it out of strong, direct sun.
