Description
Bold tribal geometry meets boho soul — the Arcanum is a hand-knotted 100% NZ wool rug with striking black zigzags, diamond medallions, and playful multicolor accents on a plush cream ground.
A rectangular high-pile hand-knotted wool rug with a warm cream/ivory base. The surface is organized into horizontal bands of bold black geometric patterns: thick zigzag chevron rows, rows of ikat-style diamond medallions with interior detailing, and bands of smaller triangular and arrow motifs. Scattered throughout each band are tiny accent marks in teal, orange, pink, purple, and light blue — appearing as small crosses, dots, and plus signs. The pile is visibly thick and fluffy with a slightly textured, handmade surface quality. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a bold, globally-inspired tribal rug with a festive multicolor accent palette against a classic cream-and-black foundation.
- Hand-knotted from 100% New Zealand wool — built to last for decades

- Bold black tribal geometric pattern: zigzags, diamonds, and chevrons
- Cream base with multicolor accents in teal, orange, pink, and purple
- Bohemian-tribal aesthetic — works beautifully in eclectic or boho interiors
- No backing — natural wool construction, breathable and authentic

The Arcanum is a stunning hand-knotted wool rug that brings bold bohemian energy to any room. Crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, its cream base is layered with striking black geometric motifs — zigzag chevrons, diamond medallions, and tribal stripe bands — all punctuated by playful pops of teal, orange, pink, and purple. The result is a rich, eclectic palette that feels both globally inspired and effortlessly modern.
At 1-inch pile height and 1.34 inches thick, this rug is genuinely plush underfoot — the kind of softness you notice the moment you step on it. The hand-knotted construction means it's built to last for years, even in high-traffic living rooms or bedrooms. Its Moroccan-meets-tribal aesthetic makes it a natural anchor for boho, southwestern, or eclectic interiors.
Whether you're layering it over hardwood floors or centering it under a low-slung sofa, the Arcanum commands attention without overwhelming a space. A true statement piece for anyone who wants their floor to tell a story.
Care & Cleaning
Follow these steps to keep your shag rugs looking their best:
- Use a wool-approved product in combination with spray extraction for cleaning.
- Note that shedding is a normal occurrence for shag rugs and will decrease over time. Avoid pulling the yarn out as it may cause rug damage.
- For effective cleaning, opt for canister vacuums without a beater bar. Vacuums that have beater bars and/or brushes, or those set too low, may potentially damage the rug's surface.
