Description
A bold black and cream leopard print in 100% hand-tufted wool — the Akeem rug is the kind of statement piece that anchors a room and starts conversations.
A rectangular area rug with a deep, near-solid black background completely covered by an allover leopard/cheetah spot pattern. The spots are irregular, organic cream and off-white shapes — some elongated, some rounded, some C-shaped — densely distributed across the entire surface with no border or medallion. The pattern is slightly denser and darker toward the center, creating a subtle gradient effect. The pile is medium height with a plush, slightly textured wool surface visible in the texture of the spots. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold, graphic, and high-contrast — like a fashion-forward animal print rendered in a refined, artisanal medium.

- Medium pile at 0.39" height, 0.63" total thickness

Hand-tufted by skilled artisans from 100% wool, this rug brings a plush, medium-pile texture underfoot that's as comfortable as it is striking. The allover animal print fills the entire surface, with organic, irregular cream spots set against a deep black background, creating a dynamic visual rhythm that works surprisingly well in modern and contemporary interiors.
At 0.39 inches of pile height and 0.63 inches total thickness, it has real substance and presence on the floor. The natural wool construction makes it durable enough for everyday use while remaining soft and warm underfoot. Whether you're anchoring a living room seating area, adding drama to a bedroom, or making a bold entryway statement, the Akeem rug delivers maximum visual impact with a sophisticated, fashion-forward edge.
Spot clean as needed to maintain its crisp two-tone palette.
Care & Cleaning
To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.
