Description
Bold white Swiss crosses on a deep charcoal ground — this hand tufted 100% wool rug is as plush as it is graphic. A modern statement piece that works in any room.
A rectangular area rug with a deep charcoal (near-black) background covering approximately 65% of the surface. Evenly distributed across the entire field are crisp, bright white Swiss cross (plus sign) motifs arranged in a regular offset grid pattern — each cross is proportionally sized with equal-length arms and rounded slightly at the tips. The crosses are consistent in size and spacing throughout, creating a clean, allover repeating geometric pattern with no border or medallion. The pile is visibly high and dense, giving the surface a plush, slightly textured appearance with soft sheen from the wool fibers. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is bold, graphic, and modern — a high-contrast two-tone design that reads as confidently minimal.

cool paletteA deep charcoal-black base dominates the field, with crisp bright white Swiss cross motifs evenly distributed across the surface — creating a high-contrast, graphic two-tone palette that feels bold yet clean. Reviewers note the background reads as very dark grey rather than true black in person, which gives it a slightly softer, more livable feel.

The Shawanee Wool Area Rug makes a striking statement with its bold Swiss cross pattern — crisp white plus signs scattered across a deep charcoal-black background in a clean, repeating allover layout. Hand tufted from 100% wool in India, this rug has a high pile construction (0.63 inches) that feels genuinely plush and thick underfoot, something customers consistently rave about. The modern, minimalist design works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, and even kitchens — anywhere you want graphic impact without visual clutter.
The dark charcoal base (reviewers note it reads more as very dark grey than true black in person) grounds a space while the white crosses add energy and rhythm. Wool construction means natural durability and a luxurious feel that holds up over time. For best results, pair with a non-skid pad and spot clean as needed.
Whether you're styling a Scandinavian-inspired bedroom or a contemporary home office, the Shawanee delivers bold personality with lasting quality.
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.
