We love that this area rug has a lived-in heirloom feel, right out of the box. It's hand-tufted in India from 100% wool, with a timeless, oriental rug pattern in a two-tone, pale blue and ivory color scheme. It has just the right amount of fading to make it look antique. Its medium-thick, 0.45'' wool pile stands up to high foot traffic while welcoming your guests with some inviting softness in your living room. This wool rug is easy to vacuum and spot clean whenever spills happen. A rug pad is recommended.
