This Ralph Lauren rug is inspired by an Oushak tribal rug made in Turkey in the mid-to-late 19th Century in a design that bridges Persian carpets and Bessarabian rugs of Ukraine and Russia. The rug adapts the style of nomadic weavers of Oushak using few colors, extra thick yarn, and large Turkish knots. It is woven of premium hand-spun wool and processed with a special wash to reproduce the sheen acquired over time in prized antique Oushak rugs. Handcrafted of wool Item Weight (Lbs.): 105.0 Vacuum regularly; professional clean only Size is approximate; we recommend use of a rug pad (not included) Imported Please note: Rugs (especially wool rugs) are prone to a natural shedding process. With regular vacuuming, the shedding will decrease over time. Hand-knotted rugs tend to shed less than hand-tufted rugs, and flatweave rugs will shed less than those with a deeper pile, but all rugs will shed more in high-traffic areas than they do in lower-traffic spaces.Unfortunately, we cannot provide rug swatches at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. We recommend using a rug pad with every indoor rug to prolong its beauty by minimizing everyday wear and tear and providing a little breathing space to help prevent fiber damage. A pad also helps stabilize the rug, reducing slippage on hard floors. Shipping Direct from Vendor, usually ships within 185 business days.
