Description
A bold red and cream checkerboard hand woven in 100% wool — the Grubbs rug brings graphic modern energy and artisan quality to any room.
A rectangular flatweave area rug with a bold, allover interlocking checkerboard pattern in deep crimson red and warm cream. Each 'square' in the grid is not a perfect square but rather a cross-shaped or concave-cornered tile — the corners of each block are notched inward, creating a subtle interlocking puzzle-piece effect across the entire surface. The red and cream alternate in a classic checkerboard arrangement, with the red covering slightly more of the visual field. The weave is tight and flat with a smooth, low-profile surface showing fine woven texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is graphic, modern, and bold — like a sophisticated game board rendered in rich wool.

About This Rug
The Grubbs Area Rug makes a bold, graphic statement with its striking red and cream checkerboard pattern — a modern twist on a classic motif. Each square features a slightly concave, cross-shaped cutout at the corners, giving the design a sophisticated interlocking quality that goes far beyond a simple grid. Hand woven from 100% wool in India, this rug brings natural warmth and durability to any space.
The flatweave construction keeps it low-profile and versatile — ideal for layering over larger rugs or anchoring a room on its own. The rich crimson red dominates the field while the soft cream provides crisp contrast, making this rug a natural focal point in living rooms, dining rooms, or entryways. Wool's inherent resilience means it holds up well in high-traffic areas, and the tight hand-woven construction ensures it lies flat and stays put.
If you're looking for a rug that's graphic, modern, and crafted with genuine artisan quality, the Grubbs delivers on all fronts.
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.
