TraditionalApplique Wool Tapestry Rug

This rug uses a traditional crewel embroidery technique where wool yarn is hand-stitched onto a cotton base. This creates a distinct, textured surface that feels more like a tapestry than a flat-woven rug.

While the 100% wool face is durable, the delicate nature of hand-embroidered crewel work makes it better suited for low-to-medium traffic areas. It is an ideal choice for bedrooms, studies, or as a decorative focal point.

Because each rug is hand-embroidered by artisans in Kashmir, no two pieces are identical. Small variations in the stitching or pattern are natural characteristics of the human-made process and confirm the authenticity of the craft.

This rug requires professional dry cleaning only. We recommend avoiding water-based spot cleaning or vacuuming with a beater bar, as these can damage the delicate chain-stitch embroidery.

Yes, we highly recommend using a rug pad. It will prevent the rug from slipping on hard floors and provide an extra layer of cushioning to protect the cotton backing and embroidery from wear.

Since these rugs are handcrafted, we can accommodate custom dimensions to fit your specific room requirements. Please reach out to our support team with your desired measurements to discuss the lead time and feasibility for your project.
