Althara is a sculptural abstract rug, curved navy, slate-blue and grey columns rising and falling across an ivory ground like a row of abstract vases. Product Details Construction: Hand Tufted Material: 100% New Zealand Wool Colour: Ivory, Navy, Slate Blue, Grey Pattern: Abstract curved column colour-block Style: Modern, Contemporary Made in: Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India Althara arranges tall, gently curved shapes in three cool tones - navy, slate blue and warm grey - across a plain ivory field, each column a slightly different width and curve so the rhythm never quite repeats. The mid-century-inspired silhouettes read almost like abstracted vessels lined up in a row, giving the rug a sculptural, gallery quality rather than a busy all-over pattern. Hand tufted with a dense, even pile, Althara suits a room built around clean lines and cool neutrals. Frequently Asked Questions What is a hand-tufted rug, and how is it made? Wool is punched through a stretched canvas backing by hand using a tufting gun, following a pre-drawn design. A layer of latex is applied underneath to lock the fibres in place, then a fabric backing is added for stability. What inspired the curved column shapes? The design borrows from mid-century abstract art, arranging tall curved forms like a row of sculptural vessels rather than a repeating geometric grid. Is shedding normal on a new hand-tufted rug? Yes - some loose fibre shedding in the first few months is normal for wool pile and settles down with regular vacuuming. How do I clean and maintain it? Vacuum on suction only, without a rotating brush or beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth rather than rubbing, avoid harsh chemicals, and bring in a professional cleaner periodically. What is the pile material? 100% New Zealand wool. Which room suits this rug best? Living rooms and studies - the cool navy and grey palette suits a room with clean, modern lines.
