Volos Hand Tufted Rug

About this rug

This rug draws on the Beni Ourain rugs of Morocco. It has a cream wool ground with open diamonds traced in thin, double charcoal lines, stacked down the center, and a loose run of charcoal dashes along each long side. The lines wander slightly, the way hand-drawn lines do, so the look stays relaxed rather than crisp. It is hand tufted in India from 100% wool, with a pile just under 1 inch and a canvas backing. At about 1 3/4 inches thick overall, it feels plush and springy underfoot. Like most tufted wool, it sheds at first. The yarn is solution-dyed, so the color holds up in a sunny room. Sizes run from a 2' x 3' mat and a 2'6" x 8' runner up to 9' x 12'. Custom sizes can be made, including rounds. The 5' x 7'6" is 6 inches shorter than a standard 5' x 8'. The back has no grip, so lay it on a felt-and-rubber pad. Spot clean only, with no moisture. The deep pile suits a living room or bedroom better than a busy entry, and it is too tall for rolling chairs. Check the gap under any door nearby.
