This hand-knotted rug arranges fine horizontal stripes of deep brown and soft cream in a checkered grid of alternating panels. Its super soft half-inch wool pile feels cozy underfoot, and with no backing the rug drapes naturally and lies flat, so a rug pad is recommended. Modern styling suits living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. Skilled artisans hand-knot each rug, taking an average of 4 months. Vacuum without a beater bar and spot clean gently with a dry cloth.
