Description
A classic houndstooth in cream and taupe, hand woven from 100% wool — this flatweave brings quiet sophistication to any room without trying too hard.
A rectangular flatweave area rug featuring an allover houndstooth repeat pattern in two tones: a soft warm cream (approximately 55% of the surface) and a muted warm taupe-gray (approximately 40-45% of the surface). The houndstooth motifs are small to medium in scale, tightly packed in a classic interlocking repeat that covers the entire rug surface edge to edge with no border. The weave is flat and tight with a slightly textured surface visible up close — no pile, no sheen. Edges appear cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression from a distance is a soft, warm neutral with quiet geometric movement.

Hand woven from 100% wool in India, this flatweave rug has a beautifully tight, low-profile construction that works equally well as a standalone statement or layered beneath a larger rug. The allover geometric houndstooth repeat gives the rug visual rhythm without overwhelming a space, making it an ideal choice for modern, contemporary, farmhouse, or transitional interiors.
Its wool construction means it's naturally durable and resilient underfoot — a smart pick for living rooms, dining rooms, or any high-traffic area where you want style that holds up. The neutral cream and taupe tones pair seamlessly with a wide range of furniture and wall colors, from crisp whites to warm wood tones. With no pile and a canvas backing, it lays flat and stays put.
A refined, understated rug that earns its place in any well-designed room.
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.
