Gideon Gray 9'9 x 13'9 Rug

Luxcelle™ is a high-performance, silk-like fiber developed to provide a sophisticated shimmer and textural contrast. In this Gideon rug, these accents are blended with the New Zealand wool and hand-carved to create a multi-dimensional effect. The Luxcelle™ fibers reflect light differently as you move through the room, highlighting the gold swirls and adding a luminous, high-end finish to the abstract pattern.

This rug is handmade from premium New Zealand wool, which is naturally more resilient than most synthetic fibers like polyester. Wool fibers possess a natural "crimp" that acts like a spring, allowing the pile to bounce back after being walked on and preventing the "crushing" or matting common in high-traffic areas. Additionally, wool contains natural lanolin, which provides an inherent barrier against soil and stains, ensuring the rug maintains its appearance for years longer than a standard synthetic rug.

Yes, the dense construction and natural properties of New Zealand wool make this rug an exceptional sound insulator. The thick pile and textured surface work together to absorb sound waves, significantly reducing echoes in rooms with high ceilings or hard flooring. This makes it a perfect functional choice for urban dwellers or those in open-concept homes who want to dampen the sound of foot traffic and improve overall room acoustics.

This "mansion-sized" rug is designed to anchor grand living spaces or expansive master suites. For a large living room, a rug of this scale allows for a "legs-on" placement, where the sofa, coffee table, and all accent chairs sit entirely on the rug. This creates a defined, cohesive seating area that prevents the room from feeling disjointed. In a bedroom, this size is ideal for a king-sized bed, leaving a generous 30-plus inches of soft wool on either side to provide a luxurious landing for your feet.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-carved fibers, we recommend vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar set to the highest pile height. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth; scrubbing can fray the natural wool fibers. For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, our expertise suggests professional rug cleaning to ensure the delicate balance of wool and silky Luxcelle™ accents is maintained without damaging the handmade backing.

Even for a substantial 9'9" x 13'9" rug, a rug pad is highly recommended. A pad provides a foundation that prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, which can cause the handmade backing to stretch over time. It also adds an extra layer of protection for your hardwood or tile floors and provides additional underfoot cushioning, enhancing the natural softness of the New Zealand wool.
