Ravenna Yellow 5'3 x 7'3 Rug

To preserve the "captivating sheen" and texture of the viscose fibers, it is important to avoid excessive moisture. Viscose is a delicate material that is sensitive to water, so we recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth rather than rubbing. For deep cleaning, professional rug cleaning is advised to ensure the fibers maintain their luster and silky-smooth pile.

This handmade rug combines the best of both natural and silk-like fibers. The wool provides a durable, resilient foundation that stands up to foot traffic, while the viscose fibers are used to create a "silky-smooth" pile with a captivating sheen. This blend offers a high-end, contemporary look that balances long-term durability with a soft, luxurious feel underfoot.

A 5x7-scale rug is an excellent choice for smaller living spaces or urban apartments. It is perfectly sized to anchor a seating area by fitting comfortably under a coffee table and the front legs of a sofa. This specific size (5'3" x 7'3") provides enough coverage to define a room's layout without overwhelming the floor space, making it a versatile option for open-concept layouts common in modern homes.

Yes, shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is typically most noticeable during the first few months of use. This occurs as small, excess fibers work their way out of the handmade weave. Regular vacuuming with a brushless attachment will help manage shedding, which will significantly decrease over time as the rug settles.

A high-low pile refers to a specialized weaving technique where some yarns are trimmed shorter than others. In this rug, banded high-low yarns are interwoven to create a textured surface that adds a subtle sense of depth and visual interest. This construction not only enhances the contemporary, distressed pattern but also provides a unique tactile experience that feels more substantial than a standard flat-weave rug.

While this rug features a substantial handmade construction, we always recommend using a high-quality rug pad. A pad provides extra cushioning, prevents the rug from sliding on hard floors, and reduces friction between the rug and the floor surface. This is especially beneficial for wool-blend rugs, as it helps extend the life of the fibers by absorbing the impact of foot traffic.
