Carthage Blue 5' x 7'6 Rug

This rug is crafted from 100% polyester, a synthetic fiber highly regarded for its exceptional durability and resistance to wear. With a low 0.25" pile height, it is less susceptible to matting or showing track marks, making it an excellent choice for busy areas like entryways, hallways, or family rooms where foot traffic is frequent.

The vintage character of this rug is designed to add depth and a sense of history to any space. The irregular antiquing details soften the repeating arabesque patterns, allowing it to bridge the gap between contemporary and traditional styles. It acts as a perfect grounding element in a modern room, adding warmth through its "rubbed copper" orange tones and deep ocean blues.

This 5' x 7'6" rug is a versatile mid-size option that works well in a variety of layouts. For a standard living room, it is ideally sized to have the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs placed on the rug, which helps anchor the seating area and creates a more cohesive look. In smaller urban apartments or home offices, this size is often large enough to fit entirely under a desk or a small dining set.

Yes, this rug is highly suitable for active households. The tight, low-pile weave of the polyester fibers makes it resistant to snagging from pet claws and much easier to vacuum than high-pile alternatives. Additionally, the intricate floral and arabesque pattern, combined with the vintage "antiquing" details, is excellent for subtly masking small marks or pet hair between cleanings.

Polyester is a solution-dyed fiber, meaning the color is integrated throughout the material. This construction provides superior colorfastness and fade resistance compared to natural fibers. This makes the rug a great choice for sun-drenched rooms or homes in bright, coastal climates where UV exposure is a daily factor.

To maintain the vibrant blue and copper-orange tones, we recommend regular vacuuming using the floor setting (without a beater bar) to prevent fiber agitation. Because polyester is naturally non-absorbent, most spills will sit on the surface rather than soaking in; blot these immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deep cleaning, we recommend professional rug cleaning to preserve the integrity of the vintage finish.

While this rug features a stable construction, we always recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad will prevent the rug from shifting or sliding on hard surfaces like hardwood or tile, provide an extra layer of underfoot cushioning, and protect both your flooring and the rug's backing from premature wear.
