Litzendorf Teal 3'9 x 5'9 Rug

Hand-tufting is a meticulous process where artisans use a specialized tool to push wool yarn through a primary backing to create a dense, plush pile. Once complete, a protective canvas backing is applied to ensure the rug maintains its shape and structural integrity over time. This construction method provides a high-quality, handmade feel with a level of detail in the geometric patterns that machine-made rugs often cannot replicate.

Yes, the 3'9" x 5'9" dimensions (approximately 45" x 69") make this rug an ideal choice for urban apartment living. It is perfectly scaled to anchor a small seating nook, define a home office area under a desk, or add a contemporary touch to a wide entryway. Furthermore, the dense wool construction acts as a natural acoustic insulator, helping to dampen sound between floors—a common benefit for shared-wall living environments.

This rug is crafted from 100% natural wool, which offers superior resilience and longevity compared to synthetic fibers. Wool fibers possess a natural "crimp" that allows them to spring back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture. Additionally, wool contains lanolin, a natural coating that provides inherent stain resistance, making it an excellent investment for high-traffic areas where durability and natural performance are priorities.

It is normal for high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs to experience some "shedding" or "fluffing" during the first few months of use. This is simply a result of small fiber pieces being released from the yarn during the initial breaking-in period. To manage this, we recommend vacuuming the rug regularly without the use of a rotating beater bar, which helps the fibers settle while maintaining the rug's intended texture and appearance.

This rug is classified as a decorative accent and typically utilizes UPS Standard Ground Shipping for fast and efficient delivery. Like most of our home decor items, this rug qualifies for free shipping and does not require any assembly. Once delivered, simply unroll the rug in your desired space; it may take a few days for the edges to lay completely flat after being rolled for transport.

For daily maintenance, vacuuming is the most effective way to remove dust and debris. If a spill occurs, our care experts recommend blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a small amount of mild detergent with cool water—avoid rubbing, as this can damage the wool fibers. Because this rug features delicate hand-tufted details, professional cleaning is recommended periodically to preserve the vibrancy of the teal hues and the integrity of the pile.
