Handcrafted of New Zealand wool.A special heirloom wash produces the subtle color variations that give Oushak rugs their distinctive antique look; therefore each will differ slightly from the one shown here.Size is approximate.Imported.See our Rug Guide for tips on how to measure for a rug choosing weaves and patterns and more.Please note: Rugs (especially wool rugs) are prone to a natural shedding process. With regular vacuuming the shedding will decrease over time. Hand-knotted rugs tend to shed less than hand-tufted rugs and flatweave rugs will shed less than those with a deeper pile but all rugs will shed more in high-traffic areas than they do in lower-traffic spaces. Unfortunately we cannot provide rug swatches at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.We recommend using a rug pad with every indoor rug to prolong its beauty by minimizing everyday wear and tear and providing a little breathing space to help prevent fiber damage. A pad also helps stabilize the rug reducing slippage on hard floors.
