Ravenna Blue 9'9 x 13'9 Rug

The high-low yarn construction creates a subtle three-dimensional effect. By interweaving yarns of varying heights, the rug gains a sense of depth and texture that a standard flat pile cannot achieve. This is particularly effective for solid-colored rugs, as it adds visual interest and sophistication without the need for busy patterns.

To maintain the vibrant blue hue and the integrity of the wool-viscose fibers, we recommend using window treatments to limit direct, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays, which can cause natural fibers to fade over time. Additionally, rotating the rug 180 degrees every six months will ensure even wear and sun exposure across the entire surface.

Yes, shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. When the rug is new, small loose fibers will rise to the surface. We recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting—avoiding the use of a beater bar or rotating brush—to manage the shedding. Over time and with regular use, the shedding will significantly decrease.

This rug features a sophisticated blend of wool and viscose, offering the perfect balance of durability and luxury. Wool is prized for its natural resilience and ability to bounce back after being stepped on, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. The addition of viscose fibers introduces a "silky-smooth" pile and a captivating sheen that catches the light, providing a high-end look and feel similar to silk.

Absolutely. This "mansion size" rug is designed specifically to anchor large spaces. In an open-concept home, a rug of these dimensions helps define a specific zone, such as a large seating area or a formal dining room. To create a cohesive look, ensure the rug is large enough for all major pieces of furniture to sit entirely on the rug, or at least have the front legs of sofas and chairs positioned on it.

For a rug of this scale, a high-quality rug pad is essential. Not only does it prevent the rug from shifting or bunching, but it also adds an extra layer of cushioning that protects the underside of the rug from friction against the floor. Using a pad helps preserve the "high-low" texture and extends the overall lifespan of the handmade fibers.
