Description
Wild meets refined — the Athena's bold black spot pattern on pure white wool is the kind of rug that stops a room in its tracks. Hand tufted, 100% wool, endlessly versatile.
A rectangular area rug with a pure white/off-white wool ground completely covered in an allover scattered pattern of irregular black spots and dashes — varying in size from small oval dots to slightly larger elongated blobs, reminiscent of cheetah spots or dalmatian markings. The spots are distributed organically across the entire surface with no visible border or medallion, creating a flowing, all-over animal print effect. The pile is medium height with a slightly textured, hand-tufted wool surface that gives the rug a soft, dimensional appearance. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold, high-contrast, and graphic — like a cheetah pelt rendered in black and white.

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.
