Ravenna Yellow 8'6 x 11'6 Rug

This rug is exceptionally well-suited for high-traffic living spaces due to its high wool content. Wool is a naturally resilient fiber that bounces back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture, making it a durable choice for active households. The 8'6" x 11'6" mansion size is specifically designed to anchor large furniture groupings, providing a cohesive look in spacious, open-concept rooms.

The high-low pile is achieved by using yarns of varying heights during the handmade weaving process. This creates a tactile, three-dimensional surface that adds visual depth and interest to the banded design. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, this texture helps to subtly mask minor wear and footprints, making it as practical as it is stylish for a contemporary home.

The captivating sheen of this rug is a result of the viscose fibers interwoven with the wool. Often referred to as "art silk," viscose reflects light beautifully, giving the modern banded pattern a luxurious, multi-dimensional look. This subtle shimmer adds a sophisticated touch that can brighten a room, especially in homes with ample natural light.

Yes, shedding is a completely normal characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This typically occurs as small fibers work their way to the surface during the initial months of use. Regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting will help manage the shedding, which will naturally diminish over time as the rug settles into your home environment.

For regular maintenance, we recommend vacuuming without a beater bar or using the highest floor setting to protect the delicate viscose fibers. Because viscose is sensitive to moisture, it is important to blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deep cleaning, we suggest consulting a professional cleaner who specializes in natural fiber blends to preserve the rug's handmade integrity and distinctive texture.

An 8'6" x 11'6" rug is a versatile "mansion size" that works best in larger rooms. To create a balanced look, we recommend placing the rug so that at least the front legs of your sofa and chairs rest on it. In a very large room, this rug is expansive enough to allow all furniture legs to sit entirely on the rug, which helps define the seating area and creates a luxurious, "designer" feel in your space.
