Artitz Black 9'6 x 13' Rug

This material combination offers a perfect balance of performance and luxury. The wool provides natural resilience, warmth, and durability, making it capable of handling daily foot traffic. The viscose fibers add a sophisticated, silk-like sheen and an exceptionally soft hand-feel, which enhances the contemporary aesthetic and brings a touch of elegance to your flooring.

A 9'6" x 13' rug is classified as a mansion-size rug, making it an ideal choice for expansive living rooms or large, open-concept spaces. To ensure a professional look, we recommend following the "all legs on" rule for this scale: your sofa, armchairs, and coffee table should all sit comfortably within the rug's borders to define the seating area and anchor the room.

To maintain the integrity of the hand-loomed weave, we recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting. It is important to avoid using a beater bar or a high-powered vacuum, as the spinning brush can catch on the loops or pull at the pile, causing premature wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing.

Because this rug features a delicate loop-and-pile texture and contains viscose, it is best suited for "medium-to-low traffic" areas such as a primary bedroom, home office, or formal living room. This placement ensures the soft texture and sheen of the fibers remain plush and vibrant for years to-come, rather than becoming matted by heavy daily use or outdoor debris.

Natural abrash refers to the subtle, intentional variations in color and shade that appear throughout the rug. In this contemporary black design, the abrash creates a high-fashion, striated look rather than a flat, solid block of color. This is a signature characteristic of handcrafted, hand-loomed rugs and ensures that your piece has a unique, artisanal depth that adds visual interest to your home.

While highly stylish, viscose fibers are naturally more sensitive to moisture than synthetic materials. In humid climates, we recommend placing this rug in a climate-controlled room with consistent air conditioning to prevent the fibers from absorbing excess moisture, which can alter the rug’s texture over time. For the best longevity in coastal or humid regions, keep the rug away from entryways where damp shoes or humid air might frequently reach it.
