Description
A hand-knotted wool and viscose masterpiece with a bold tribal medallion design in charcoal, blue, and teal — complete with authentic fringe edges and centuries of artisan tradition.
A rectangular hand-knotted area rug with a bold central tribal medallion design set against a deep charcoal gray field. The medallion is composed of concentric stepped diamond shapes filled with intricate geometric motifs — arrows, lozenges, hourglass forms, and small symbolic shapes — rendered in slate blue, teal, ivory, warm brown, and muted gold. Multiple layered geometric borders frame the central field, each filled with repeating tribal motifs in contrasting tones of blue, gray, and cream. The overall surface has a low, tight pile with a subtle viscose sheen that gives depth to the darker tones. The rug has short natural fringe edges on the two short ends, approximately 1 inch in length. The visual impression is of a richly detailed, museum-quality tribal textile with a cool-dominant but earthy color palette.

About This Rug
The Akle area rug is a stunning hand-knotted piece crafted from a 60% wool and 40% viscose blend, delivering both durability and a subtle silky sheen. Its intricate tribal medallion design features a bold central diamond medallion surrounded by layered geometric borders — all rendered in a rich palette of charcoal gray, slate blue, teal, warm brown, and ivory. The pattern draws from Persian and Southwestern traditions, making it a versatile anchor for eclectic, boho, or traditionally styled spaces.
At just 0.12 inches pile height, it lays flat and low, making it ideal for layering over larger rugs or placing in high-traffic areas like living rooms, dining rooms, or entryways. The natural fringe edges add an authentic handmade character that elevates the artisanal feel. The viscose content gives the surface a gentle luster that catches light beautifully, making the intricate pattern pop.
This is a rug that rewards a closer look — the more you study it, the more detail you find.
Care & Cleaning
Viscose rugs, due to their wood cellulose fiber construction, require special care:
- Since these rugs absorb moisture easily, cleaning is generally not recommended.
- Should cleaning become necessary, dry cleaning is the preferred method. However, always consult with the dry cleaner as some chemicals can discolor the fibers.
- Avoid spot cleaning with water as the cellulose fibers can discolor or turn yellow when wet and may result in stains post-cleaning.
- Lighter colors and large, solid areas are more prone to visible staining.
- To minimize the need for cleaning, it's advisable to place viscose rugs in low-traffic areas.
