Description
A hand-knotted 100% wool rug with a beautifully faded navy and cream Persian medallion — where traditional craftsmanship meets modern distressed style.
A rectangular flatweave rug with a deep navy blue base featuring an intricate traditional Persian floral medallion pattern rendered in faded cream, pale gray, and muted blue tones. The pattern is intentionally distressed — the motifs appear eroded and worn, dissolving organically into the cream background in an irregular, cloud-like manner rather than having clean defined edges. The central medallion and surrounding floral scrollwork are visible but softened, giving the rug a painterly, antique quality. The surface texture is flat and tightly woven with no visible pile, showing the hand-knotted construction. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a treasured heirloom rug that has been beautifully aged — sophisticated, moody, and rich in character.

- Flatweave construction, 0.16" thin — lays perfectly flat
- Ideal for high-traffic areas: living rooms, hallways, dining rooms

About This Rug
The Holmes Area Rug is a stunning hand-knotted wool piece that masterfully bridges traditional Persian design with a modern, distressed aesthetic. Its deep navy blue base is washed with faded cream and gray tones, creating a beautifully worn, antique-inspired look that feels both timeless and fresh. The intricate floral medallion pattern is intentionally eroded at the edges, giving the rug an organic, painterly quality that adds depth and character to any room.
Crafted from 100% wool in a flat-weave construction, this rug is surprisingly durable and well-suited for high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces. At just 0.16 inches thick, it lays flat easily and works beautifully as a layering piece over larger natural fiber rugs. The hand-knotted construction ensures longevity and a quality that machine-made rugs simply can't replicate.
Professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the rich wool fibers and the integrity of the distressed dye work. If you're looking for a rug that tells a story and anchors a room with quiet sophistication, the Holmes is a standout choice.
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.
