Tupelo Gray 9'9 x 13'9 Rug

Because this handmade rug is crafted without a secondary backing, it is more flexible but also more prone to shifting on hard surfaces like hardwood or tile. Using a high-quality rug pad is essential; it not only prevents slipping and bunching but also provides an extra layer of cushioning that protects the wool fibers from friction against the floor, extending the life of your rug.

This "mansion size" rug is designed for expansive spaces, such as large great rooms, grand dining halls, or primary bedroom suites. To ensure a balanced look, we recommend following the "legs on" rule: in a living area, this size is typically large enough for all pieces of furniture—sofa, chairs, and tables—to sit entirely on the rug with a comfortable border of flooring visible around the perimeter.

Yes, 100% European wool is one of the most resilient natural fibers available for home decor. Wool fibers possess a natural elasticity, allowing the medium-thick pile to "spring back" after being stepped on or compressed by furniture. This inherent durability, combined with the handmade construction, makes it an excellent long-term investment for the busier hubs of your home.

Shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality handmade wool rugs and is a sign of the fiber's authenticity. For the first few months, we recommend vacuuming at least once a week using a suction-only setting or a vacuum with the beater bar turned off. This prevents unnecessary pulling on the fibers while effectively removing the loose "fluff" that rises to the surface.

This rug is an exceptional choice for multi-family living or urban environments where sound dampening is a priority. The density of the 100% European wool combined with the medium-thick pile acts as a natural acoustic insulator, significantly reducing echo and footfall noise between floors. Its neutral heathered gray tones and carved geometric pattern also provide a sophisticated focal point that complements modern city aesthetics.
