This hand-loomed area rug lends a cushy foundation and a traditional character to your living room. It's handmade in India from viscose material that mimics silk's smooth texture, so it offers the same sleek look and feel. We love that the taupe/gray tone is neutral which goes with almost any color scheme, but doesn't show every stain and scuff. The thick 0.5" pile height adds a cushioning effect to floors in low-traffic areas. This area rug comes with a canvas backing – pair it with a rug pad to prevent slipping and sliding.
