Gideon Gray 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

This rug is handmade using premium New Zealand wool, which is globally recognized for its superior strength, natural stain resistance, and exceptional softness underfoot. To add a layer of sophisticated detail, it features Luxcelle™ accents—a silk-like fiber derived from cellulose. This combination ensures the rug is not only durable but also has a luminous sheen that captures and reflects light differently throughout the day.

This "Mansion Size" rug is ideal for larger living rooms or great rooms. A common rule of professional design is to ensure that at least the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs sit on the rug to anchor the space. With dimensions of approximately 8.5 by 11.5 feet, this rug is large enough to accommodate most standard furniture groupings while leaving an aesthetically pleasing border of flooring visible around the perimeter of the room.

To preserve the integrity of the handmade fibers, we recommend regular vacuuming with the beater bar turned off or set to a high-pile setting to prevent snagging the hand-carved details. Because wool is naturally resilient, most spills can be blotted (never rubbed) with a clean, dry cloth. For long-term care, professional cleaning is recommended to maintain the luster of the Luxcelle™ accents and the vibrancy of the gray and gold tones.

Yes. While the hand-carved gold swirls provide a bold, transitional aesthetic, the carving process also creates a multi-dimensional texture. By varying the pile heights, the rug gains a physical depth that masks footprints and vacuum marks more effectively than a perfectly flat rug, making it a practical choice for maintaining a "just-cleaned" look in high-traffic areas.

Wool is an excellent choice for active households because the fibers have a natural "spring" that allows them to bounce back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture. Additionally, the abstract pattern and multi-tonal gray, black, and gold palette are expert at concealing the occasional stray pet hair or minor wear, ensuring your room remains looking polished even in a busy family environment.

Wool is a breathable, natural insulator, which helps regulate the "feel" of a room. In cooler climates, it provides excellent warmth and floor insulation. In more humid or coastal environments, wool’s natural structure allows it to manage moisture better than many synthetic alternatives, though we always recommend using a high-quality rug pad to provide necessary airflow between the rug and the subfloor.
