A note on character

Faint creases from transit are normal and relax within a few days of lying flat. Slight irregularities in line and color are the signature of a hand-knotted piece — not flaws, but the fingerprints of the person who made it.

What Owners Say

Bought once. Kept for good.

Good to Know

Questions, answered.

Is this rug really hand-knotted?

Yes. This is a genuine hand-knotted rug — tied entirely by hand, knot by knot, from wool. That hand-work is exactly why no two are alike and why this piece is one of a kind.

What is this rug made of, and where was it made?

It is hand-knotted from wool in Afghanistan, on a cotton foundation.

What size is this rug?

This exact piece measures 10'0'' X 17'7'' (about a Oversize rug). These are the real, measured dimensions of this one rug — hand-made pieces vary by an inch or two from any standard size.

Is this piece really one of a kind?

Yes. This is the only one of this rug that exists — its colour, size and pattern will never be reproduced. When it sells, it is gone for good.

Do you ship for free?

Yes — every order ships free anywhere in the United States, fully insured and carefully rolled for transit.

What is your return policy?

You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, and up to 30 days to send it back. We email you a prepaid shipping label — return shipping is on us — and refund you once the rug is back with us.

How do I care for my rug?

Vacuum gently (no beater bar), rotate it now and then for even wear, and blot spills right away rather than rubbing. For a deeper clean, see our rug care guide or ask us about professional hand-cleaning.

Can I see it in person before buying?

Yes. You're welcome at our Houston showroom — book a private viewing and we'll have the piece ready to walk on.

Can I pay over time?

Yes — you can split your purchase into monthly payments with Affirm at checkout, and checking your rate won't affect your credit score.
