Inspired by vintage carpets spotted in Alpine ski lodges, our Chalet rug combines traditional Turkish design with a bit of bohemian influence. Hand-knotted from cotton and wool, it stands up to traffic and feels equally at home apres ski or with an after-dinner cocktail in hand.
What a pretty rug! I ordered the 8 X 10 and it fits a rectangle dining table + 6 chairs with room to pull the chairs out. This modern, versatile rug in cream, blue and peach colors would fit a variety of décor styles. The online pictures looked navy and beige but in person the undertones are more royal blue and pink. It is made of natural materials (cotton and wool) so I expect it to wear well over time. It is soft underfoot and heavy enough not to move when chairs are pulled across but I think a good rug pad would be needed if this was going to be used over carpet as it does not have a stiff backing. The rug arrived wrapped around a cardboard tube encased in plastic so there was no creasing or damage and it laid flat almost immediately.
One month in the edges have started to curl so I’d recommend corner stickers. There is also a very strong wool smell that has only mildly dissipated over time. It did not shed and has been easy to vacuum. Food stains and crumbs have come up with mild soap and water so staining should not be an issue.. Susan. Macomb Mi. Mon Aug 29 2022
