Description
A hand-knotted viscose rug with a beautifully faded Persian floral design — soft gray, taupe, and dusty blue tones that bring timeless, antique character to any room.
A rectangular hand-knotted area rug with an allover distressed Persian floral and medallion pattern rendered in a heavily faded, washed-out finish. The dominant color is soft medium gray, layered with warm taupe and dark charcoal shadows that give the intricate motifs depth and dimension. Small accents of dusty slate blue appear throughout the field, adding subtle color interest. The surface has a low, smooth pile with a faint silky sheen characteristic of viscose construction. A classic narrow border frames the entire field in a slightly darker tone. Short fringe edges (approximately 1 inch) run along the two short ends of the rug. The overall impression is of a beautifully aged, museum-quality Persian carpet in a muted, sophisticated neutral palette.

About This Rug
The Ballantrae Premium Rug brings the timeless beauty of a hand-knotted Persian design into your home with a beautifully worn, distressed finish that feels both antique and effortlessly current. Dominated by soft gray and warm taupe tones, the allover floral and medallion motifs are rendered in a faded, washed-out palette that gives the rug an authentic aged character — as if it's been treasured for generations. Subtle accents of dusty blue and dark charcoal add depth without overwhelming the neutral base.
Crafted from 100% viscose with a low 0.2-inch pile, the surface has a gentle silky sheen that catches light beautifully, making colors shift subtly depending on the angle. The hand-knotted construction ensures each rug is a unique, artisan-made piece with exceptional attention to detail. A classic border frames the intricate field, completing the traditional Persian aesthetic.
With its neutral earth-tone palette, this rug transitions seamlessly between traditional, transitional, and even modern interiors. Note: viscose rugs are best suited for low-traffic areas and require professional cleaning to maintain their lustrous finish.
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.
