Celeste Gray 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

To preserve the dimensional high-low, cut-and-loop pile of this handmade piece, we recommend regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting or a floor attachment. It is important to avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar or power head, as these can be too aggressive for the delicate Luxcelle fibers and may cause snagging in the loop sections. Initial shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool blends and will typically diminish with regular care over the first few months.

Yes, this rug is an excellent choice for improving the acoustics of an urban apartment or any room with hard flooring. The handmade construction and varied high-low pile act as a natural sound insulator, dampening echoes and muffling the sound of footsteps. Its significant surface area provides a substantial acoustic buffer, making your living space feel quieter and more intimate.

We highly recommend using a rug pad to protect both your new investment and your floors. A pad provides essential "grip" that prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, which can cause premature wear on the handmade backing. Beyond safety and slip prevention, a quality pad adds an extra layer of luxury underfoot and acts as a protective barrier for your hardwood or tile surfaces.

A 7'9" x 9'9" rug is a versatile "estate size" that works beautifully in most standard living rooms or under a queen-sized bed. In a living room, this size is ideal for anchoring a seating group by allowing the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest on the rug, creating a defined and cohesive space. For bedrooms, placing this rug horizontally under a queen bed provides about 18 to 24 inches of soft, textured pile on either side to greet your feet in the morning.

This rug features a sophisticated blend of wool and silky Luxcelle, designed to offer both resilience and a high-end finish. Wool is a premier natural fiber known for its exceptional durability and "crimp," which allows it to bounce back even in high-traffic areas. The addition of Luxcelle—a silk-like cellulose fiber—infuses the rug with a refined luster and a soft, shimmering quality that enhances the abstract, linear pattern.

This rug is well-suited for active households due to the natural strength of its wool fibers. Wool is inherently resilient and features a light natural coating that helps repel dry soil. While the textured abstract pattern is excellent for masking minor wear, we recommend placing it in rooms where "wet" accidents are less frequent, as the silky Luxcelle fibers are best maintained when kept dry. For pet owners, the tight loop construction helps prevent claws from snagging the weave.
