Description
A hand-knotted wool and viscose rug with a bold Greek key pattern in rich mauve-purple and silver-gray — geometric sophistication that's built to last.
A rectangular area rug with an allover, wall-to-wall Greek key (meander) geometric pattern. The dominant color is a deep dusty mauve-purple covering approximately 65% of the surface, with the Greek key motif rendered in a contrasting soft silver-gray that traces interlocking right-angled spiral shapes across the entire field. The effect is tone-on-tone — both colors are muted and close in value, giving the rug a refined, non-contrasting look. The pile is medium height with a slight sheen from the viscose content, visible as subtle light variation across the surface. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The pattern repeats uniformly from edge to edge with no border or medallion — purely allover geometric.

About This Rug
The Calhoun Area Rug is a striking hand-knotted piece that brings bold geometric sophistication to any room. Its allover Greek key pattern is rendered in a rich mauve-purple tone against a soft silver-gray, creating a tone-on-tone effect that feels both modern and timeless. Crafted in India from a luxurious blend of 60% wool and 40% viscose, the medium pile (0.31 inches) offers a satisfying underfoot feel with a subtle sheen from the viscose that makes the pattern shimmer in changing light.
The hand-knotted construction means this rug is built to last — each knot tied by hand for exceptional durability and density. At 0.39 inches thick, it has real substance without being bulky. The muted purple palette makes it surprisingly versatile — equally at home in a contemporary living room, a transitional bedroom, or a sophisticated home office.
Because it requires professional cleaning, pair it with a quality rug pad to protect both the rug and your floors. If you've been searching for a purple geometric rug that feels genuinely special rather than mass-produced, the Calhoun delivers.
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.
