Description
Hand-knotted in 100% viscose with a silky sheen, the Carthage brings intricate Persian floral elegance in a soft cream and gray palette — finished with natural fringe.
A rectangular hand-knotted area rug with a warm cream field densely covered in an allover traditional Persian floral and scrollwork pattern. The motifs — stylized botanical flowers, curling vines, and leaf forms — are rendered in soft gray, taupe, brown, and beige tones against the cream ground, creating a gentle tonal contrast. The rug features a classic multi-layered border system: a narrow inner guard border and a wider outer border filled with complementary floral and geometric repeat motifs in gray and beige. The pile is very low and smooth with a subtle silky viscose sheen visible across the surface. Short natural-colored fringe (approximately 1.5 inches) runs along both short ends. The overall impression is of a refined, softly faded traditional Persian rug in a quiet, neutral colorway.

About This Rug
The Carthage Area Rug brings timeless Persian elegance to any room with its intricate allover floral and scrollwork pattern rendered in a soft, neutral palette of cream, beige, and gray. Hand knotted from 100% viscose, this low-pile rug has a subtle silky sheen that catches the light beautifully, making the traditional motifs feel fresh and refined rather than heavy. The classic multi-border framing and delicate botanical details are drawn from centuries-old Persian design traditions, yet the muted, earthy tones keep it feeling right at home in both traditional and transitional interiors.
Finished with natural fringe edges, the Carthage adds an artisan touch that elevates the handmade quality. At just 0.2 inches of pile height, it lays flat and works wonderfully as a layering piece over natural fiber rugs or on its own on hardwood floors. Whether anchoring a formal dining room, a cozy reading nook, or a sophisticated living space, this rug brings understated warmth and craftsmanship to the room.
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.
