Citra Gray 10' x 14' Rug

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibers and is not a sign of a defect. Based on our expertise with premium textiles, we recommend regular vacuuming—using a vacuum without a beater bar or with the bar set high—during the first few months of ownership. This process removes the loose "staple" fibers, and the shedding will diminish significantly over time as the rug settles into your home.

A 10' x 14' rug is considered a "mansion size" rug and is the ideal foundation for anchoring large-scale furniture. In an open-concept home, a rug of this size allows you to place all the legs of your sofa and accent chairs on the rug, which defines the seating area and prevents a "floating furniture" look. It provides a cohesive, professional designer feel to expansive living rooms or primary suites.

Hand-knotting is a premium, time-intensive artistry where expert artisans tie each individual knot by hand. This construction method creates a superior, incredibly durable rug that is built to last for generations, unlike machine-made versions. This specific rug narrates a tale of age-old craftsmanship, ensuring that your floor covering is not just a decor piece but a handmade treasure with a unique character.

New Zealand wool is globally recognized for its exceptional purity, strength, and whiteness, which allows for vibrant, clear colors. As a natural fiber, it is incredibly resilient and has a natural "spring-back" quality that helps the low pile maintain its shape even in high-traffic areas. Additionally, wool is naturally stain-resistant and flame-retardant, making it an authoritative choice for both luxury and safety.

For this low-pile rug, our care guide recommends blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth to prevent the liquid from soaking into the wool foundation. Use a small amount of mild detergent and cool water if necessary, but avoid scrubbing, as this can fray the delicate fringe or damage the hand-knotted fibers. To preserve the integrity of the handmade knots, we recommend professional cleaning every 3–5 years.

Yes, wool is a highly practical choice for active households. The natural lanolin in the wool fibers acts as a protective barrier, making the rug naturally resistant to soil and spills. Furthermore, the low-pile height is easier to keep clean than high-pile or shag alternatives, as it doesn't trap as much debris, and the hand-knotted construction is tough enough to withstand the daily wear and tear of a busy family lifestyle.
