Millsboro Black 2'3 x 8' Rug

Yes. The shimmering accents are created using lurex and silk-like Luxcelle fibers, which are expertly woven into the handmade wool blend. While these fibers provide a sophisticated luster that shifts beautifully with changes in natural or overhead light, the handmade high-low construction ensures the rug remains durable. This textured style is particularly effective at maintaining its visual depth even in active areas of the home.

Because this rug is handmade and may be tightly rolled for shipping, it is common for the edges to curl slightly upon arrival. To flatten it quickly, try reverse-rolling the rug for 24 hours or placing heavy furniture or books on the corners. For more stubborn curls, gently weighting the edges in a room with a bit of natural humidity can help the natural wool fibers relax into their permanent shape.

Like all runner rugs placed on hard surfaces, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad not only prevents the rug from slipping—an essential safety feature for hallways—but also adds an extra layer of cushioning. This protects both the handmade weave of your rug and the finish of your flooring from premature wear.

This rug is an exceptional choice for high-traffic zones. Wool is a naturally resilient fiber known for its "crush resistance," meaning it springs back after being stepped on, while the handmade construction provides superior structural integrity compared to machine-made alternatives. The blend of wool and Luxcelle offers a balance of natural durability and a soft, silk-like feel underfoot.

With a width of 2'3" (approximately 27 inches), this runner is designed to fit perfectly in standard and even slightly narrower hallways. For the most balanced look, we recommend leaving 3 to 5 inches of floor visible on either side of the rug. This standard sizing makes it an excellent choice for adding a layer of comfort to urban apartment corridors or entryways where space is at a premium.

To maintain the high-low texture and delicate shimmer, we recommend vacuuming regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off. This prevents the rotating brush from pulling at the handmade fibers. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Due to the luxurious wool and Luxcelle blend, professional cleaning is recommended periodically to preserve the rug’s luster and integrity over time.
