Gideon Gray 5'6 x 7'5 Rug

This rug is meticulously handmade with hand-carved gold swirls that create a multi-dimensional, high-low effect across the abstract pattern. To add a sophisticated shimmer, silky Luxcelle™ accents are woven into the wool. Luxcelle™ is a high-quality cellulose fiber known for its light-reflecting properties, which causes the gold and gray tones to subtly shift and glow depending on the angle of the light in your room.

Measuring 5'6" x 7'5", this rug is an excellent choice for urban apartment living or smaller suburban spaces. In a living room, it is the ideal size to anchor a standard sofa and coffee table setup, defining the seating area without overwhelming the floor. For a bedroom, this scale works perfectly when placed horizontally under the bottom two-thirds of a queen-sized bed, providing a soft, warm landing for your feet on both sides.

New Zealand wool is widely considered one of the finest natural fibers in the world for flooring. This specific rug utilizes these premium fibers to offer exceptional softness and a higher concentration of natural lanolin, which acts as a protective barrier against spills and soil. Additionally, New Zealand wool is highly resilient; the fibers possess a natural "crimp" that allows the pile to spring back after being stepped on, ensuring the rug maintains its plush texture even in high-traffic areas of your home.

Yes, the dense construction of this wool rug makes it an effective tool for sound dampening. The natural protein fibers in the wool and the 0.75-inch pile height help absorb ambient noise and reduce "floor-to-floor" sound transmission. This makes it a strategic addition for homeowners looking to create a quieter, more intimate atmosphere in echoing spaces or multi-story homes.

Minor shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is actually a sign of the fiber's authenticity. This typically subsides after a few months of regular use. To maintain the integrity of the hand-carved pile, we recommend using a vacuum with suction only. Avoid using a vacuum with a rotating beater bar or "power head," as the aggressive brushing can pull at the wool fibers and cause unnecessary fuzzing or damage to the delicate Luxcelle™ accents.

Thanks to the natural oils in the New Zealand wool, liquids tend to bead on the surface rather than soaking in immediately. For the best results, blot spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth—never scrub, as this can distort the fibers. Because this rug contains specialty Luxcelle™ accents, we recommend professional cleaning for any significant stains to ensure the luster and texture of the delicate fibers are preserved.
