Description
A striking black leopard silhouette rendered in rich textural detail on a clean cream wool ground — the Zosia rug is as much art as it is floor covering.
A rectangular area rug with a clean off-white/cream wool ground and a large, centrally-placed black leopard silhouette that fills most of the rug's vertical length. The silhouette depicts a leopard in a dynamic climbing or leaping pose — one foreleg raised, tail curling downward — and the entire shape is filled with dense, intricate calligraphic or script-like texture rather than a flat fill, giving it a richly layered, almost hand-drawn quality. The background is plain and unadorned, creating a stark high-contrast composition. The rug has clean bound edges with no fringe or tassels. The pile is medium height with a soft, slightly textured wool surface visible across the cream ground.
- Hand-tufted wool construction — soft, durable, and built to last
- Bold black leopard silhouette on a clean cream background
- Medium pile at 0.3" with 0.5" total thickness — plush underfoot
- Made in India with a cotton backing for stability
- Spot clean with water — simple care for a statement piece
- Works as a standalone art piece or layered over a larger rug

About This Rug
The Zosia Area Rug is a bold, conversation-starting piece that brings graphic energy to any room. Its standout feature is a large black leopard silhouette rendered in intricate, calligraphy-like texture against a clean off-white wool background — it reads as both an animal print and a piece of wall-worthy art. Hand-tufted in India from soft, medium-pile wool, this rug has a plush 0.3-inch pile and a 0.5-inch total thickness that feels substantial underfoot.
The high-contrast black and cream palette makes it incredibly versatile — it works just as well in a sleek modern living room as it does in a maximalist gallery-style space. The cotton backing adds stability, and a rug pad is recommended to keep it in place and enhance its cushioning. Spot clean with water only to maintain its crisp look.
If you want a rug that doubles as a statement art piece, the Zosia is exactly that.
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.
