Is this rug hand-knotted or hand-tufted?

It is hand-tufted in India, not hand-knotted. The pile is tufted into a backing rather than tied knot by knot, which is why it is less costly than a knotted Persian rug.

What is the rug made of?

It is 100% hand-spun wool. The herbal wash gives the wool its luster and an aged patina.

Does a wool tufted rug shed?

Yes, some shedding is normal for hand-tufted wool, especially in the first months. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar reduces it.

How should I clean it?

Vacuum regularly and blot spills promptly with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a professional rug cleaner; do not machine wash it.

Will the ivory color look like the photos?

The color is ivory with an off-white tone, and the herbal wash adds variation. Expect slight shading differences across the rug, which is part of the aged look.

Where does it fit best?

It suits living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms with traditional or transitional furniture. A rug pad is recommended to keep it from sliding.

Our take on the SAFAVIEH Antiquity Toireasa Oriental Wool Area Rug

The Antiquity Toireasa is a hand-tufted traditional area rug from Safavieh's Antiquity collection, made in India of 100% hand-spun wool. Its design draws on 19th-century antique Persian rugs, and a herbal wash gives the ivory pile a soft luster and an aged patina. It suits living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where a classic look is wanted. 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, with a tufted rather than knotted pile.
