Description
A bold antelope print in smoky gray and cream, hand tufted in wool — the Athena brings wild, designer-level style to modern and contemporary spaces.
A rectangular area rug with an allover antelope animal print pattern rendered in a palette of mid-tone gray, deep charcoal, and cream/off-white. The pattern features small irregular oval and teardrop-shaped cream spots scattered densely across the surface, with vertical dark charcoal streaks running through the field to mimic the natural markings of an antelope hide. The spots vary slightly in size and density, creating an organic, flowing rhythm across the rug. The overall surface has a subtle ombre quality — lighter gray in some areas, deeper charcoal in others — giving the rug visual depth and movement. The pile is medium height with a smooth, even texture typical of hand tufted wool construction. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The rug is rectangular in shape with a cool, neutral overall impression.

About This Rug
The Athena area rug by Livabliss brings a bold yet sophisticated animal print to any room with its striking antelope-inspired pattern rendered in soft gray, charcoal, and cream tones. Hand tufted from quality wool in India, this rug features a medium pile height of 0.39 inches that feels plush and comfortable underfoot while standing up to everyday use. The flowing spotted motif cascades vertically across the rug's surface, with darker charcoal streaks creating a natural, organic depth that mimics the look of real animal hide without the ethical concerns.
The neutral gray and cream palette makes it incredibly versatile — it pairs beautifully with modern, contemporary, and transitional interiors alike. Whether anchoring a living room seating arrangement or adding texture to a bedroom, the Athena rug delivers a designer-level statement that feels both wild and refined. Canvas backing provides stability, and spot cleaning keeps maintenance simple.
A rug pad is recommended 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.
