Description
A handmade wool rug with a soft beige-and-cream offset checkerboard pattern — minimalist, textured, and endlessly versatile for modern interiors.
A rectangular area rug featuring an allover offset checkerboard pattern composed of alternating horizontal rectangular blocks in warm sandy beige and soft cream/ivory. The blocks are arranged in a staggered brick-like layout, creating a subtle dimensional rhythm across the entire surface. The wool pile is low-to-medium height with a slightly textured, hand-tufted surface that gives the rug a tactile, artisanal quality. The color contrast between the beige and cream is gentle and tonal rather than stark. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is calm, minimalist, and quietly sophisticated — like a modern take on a classic woven textile.

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.
