Description
A handmade wool rug with a broken stripe pattern in cream and layered grays — quietly modern, endlessly versatile, and built to last.
A rectangular area rug with an allover broken stripe pattern composed of irregular rectangular blocks arranged in loose horizontal rows. The base color is a warm cream/ivory, with the blocks rendered in varying shades of gray — from pale silver-gray to medium charcoal — creating a mosaic-like, pixelated stripe effect across the entire surface. The texture appears low and slightly nubby, consistent with a hand-tufted wool construction with minimal pile height. The color distribution is organic rather than perfectly geometric, giving the pattern a handcrafted, slightly irregular quality. Edges appear cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is calm, neutral, and quietly textural — modern without being stark.

- Low, no-pile design — lays flat, great for layering

Mid-Century Dining RoomAbout This Rug
The Cathal Broken Striped Area Rug brings a quietly sophisticated, mid-century modern sensibility to any room. Handcrafted in India using 100% wool, this hand-tufted rug features an allover broken stripe pattern rendered in soft cream, ivory, and layered shades of gray — from pale silver to deep charcoal. The effect is almost mosaic-like: rectangular blocks of color shift and overlap across the surface, creating subtle movement without overwhelming a space.
At just under half an inch thick with a low, no-pile construction, it lays flat and clean underfoot, making it an ideal layering piece over hardwood or tile floors. The neutral palette works effortlessly with both warm and cool interiors — equally at home in a Scandinavian-inspired living room, a contemporary home office, or a transitional bedroom. Spot clean with a dry cloth for easy maintenance, and use a rug pad underneath for stability.
If you're looking for a handmade wool rug that feels refined without being fussy, the Cathal delivers understated texture and timeless style.
Care & Cleaning
To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.
