Description
A moody, distressed Persian medallion in deep charcoal and smoky gray — the Aria looks like a treasured antique but works in any modern home.
A rectangular area rug with a deep charcoal gray field featuring a large central Persian medallion in intricate floral scrollwork, rendered in layered tones of dark gray, near-black, and silvery light gray. The medallion is surrounded by an allover field of dense floral and vine motifs that fade and blur at the edges, creating a heavily distressed, antique-worn appearance. A classic multi-line border frames the entire composition with matching ornate detail. The surface has a medium, smooth machine-woven pile with a matte finish — no fringe, no tassels, clean bound edges. The overall impression is of a centuries-old Persian carpet that has been beautifully aged, with the distressed finish creating dramatic light-and-shadow contrast across the charcoal palette.

About This Product
The Nourison Aria brings the timeless beauty of a Persian medallion rug into a modern, moody palette. Rendered in deep charcoal, smoky gray, and near-black tones, this rug features an intricately detailed central medallion surrounded by ornate floral scrollwork and a classic multi-line border — all finished with a deliberately distressed, faded look that gives it the feel of a well-loved antique. The worn, vintage-inspired finish means it hides everyday wear beautifully, making it a smart choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and high-traffic hallways.
At 0.5 inches of medium pile, it offers a comfortable underfoot feel without being too plush, and the jute backing keeps it grounded on hard floors. The cool, neutral charcoal palette is incredibly versatile — it pairs effortlessly with both warm wood tones and cool contemporary furniture. Whether you're layering it over a larger natural fiber rug or letting it anchor a room on its own, the Aria delivers old-world character with a distinctly modern edge.
Care & Cleaning
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your jute rugs, please follow these guidelines:
- Regularly vacuum the rug using a low-power setting, ensuring to approach from various angles due to the natural fiber's loose threads and knots.
- Should you encounter loose threads on the rug's surface, trim them using household scissors. To prevent damage or unraveling, avoid pulling threads from the rug's face.
- In the event of spills, blot gently with a clean, undyed cloth to absorb as much of the spill as possible, working from the edges towards the center to prevent spreading.
- If you decide to use cleaning solvents, test on a small hidden area first.
- For stubborn stains, seek the services of a professional cleaner who specializes in natural fiber rugs.
- Avoid dry cleaning as the harsh chemicals can damage or cause fading in the rug.
