Description
Bold black ground, crisp ivory trellis — this hand-knotted 100% wool Hemingway rug brings Moroccan geometry and lasting quality to any modern or transitional room.
A rectangular area rug with a near-solid deep black field covering approximately 85% of the surface. Overlaid across the entire rug is a continuous, allover Moroccan ogee trellis pattern rendered in thin, precise ivory-white lines. The trellis forms interlocking pointed arch shapes (ogee/lantern silhouettes) that repeat in a tight, uniform grid from edge to edge with no border. The pile is medium height with a smooth, even surface texture typical of hand-knotted wool — not shaggy, but visibly soft and dense. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold, graphic, and sophisticated — like a high-contrast geometric wallpaper translated into a luxurious wool rug.

About This Rug
The Hemingway Area Rug makes a bold, sophisticated statement with its deep charcoal-black ground and crisp ivory trellis pattern — a classic Moroccan ogee lattice that feels both timeless and thoroughly modern. Hand-knotted from 100% wool in India, this rug is built to last, with a medium pile (0.31 inches) and a substantial 0.39-inch thickness that feels solid and grounded underfoot. The repeating trellis motif creates a rhythmic, almost hypnotic visual texture that anchors a room without overwhelming it — perfect for contemporary, transitional, or Moroccan-inspired interiors.
The two-tone black and white palette is endlessly versatile: it pairs effortlessly with bold jewel-toned furniture, warm wood tones, or sleek metallic accents. Because it's hand-knotted wool, this rug is naturally durable and resilient — a smart investment for high-traffic living rooms, dining rooms, or home offices. Note: professional cleaning is recommended to preserve its beauty.
A rug pad is advised for best performance.
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.
