Is this rug handmade?

Yes. It is hand-tufted in India of 100% hand-spun wool, then given a herbal wash for an aged patina.

Tufted wool rugs typically shed loose fibers for the first weeks. Vacuum gently without a beater bar and shedding settles.

What colors does it come in?

This rug is olive and gold, a muted antique palette rather than a bright gold.

How does it compare with hand-knotted Persian rugs?

It copies the look at a lower level of construction. Hand-knotted rugs last decades; a tufted rug is softer and less expensive but wears faster.

How should I clean it?

Vacuum regularly and blot spills right away. Have wool rugs professionally cleaned rather than steam cleaned.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is recommended. It keeps the rug from sliding, adds cushioning and reduces wear on the wool.

Our take on the SAFAVIEH Antiquity Carmella Oriental Wool Area Rug

The Safavieh Antiquity Carmella is a hand-tufted wool area rug in the Antiquity collection, styled after 19th-century Persian antiques. It is 100% hand-spun wool with a herbal wash that gives it luster and an aged patina, in an olive and gold palette. It suits traditional and transitional rooms that want an heirloom look without an antique rug's fragility. Against machine-made and synthetic rugs it offers real wool and hand construction; against finer hand-knotted Persian rugs it is a more affordable way into the style, though tufted wool sheds and needs care.
