Product details
Hand-knotted wool rugs anchor large rooms with the kind of resilience machine-woven imports cannot match--each knot is tied individually by hand, building a dense pile that wears evenly under decades of foot traffic. The Agay Medallion Dark Blue area rug, available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping, delivers that artisan construction in four expansive sizes including 10' x 14' and 9' x 12', finished with hand-serged edges and short fringe that prevents unraveling. Premium hand-spun New Zealand wool is repeatedly hand-washed during production to develop a soft patina and natural luster, creating the velvety surface and rich color depth this traditional medallion pattern requires. Ships within 48-72 hours, so you can anchor a living room or dining space without waiting weeks for a custom order.

Why Choose Hand-Knotted Wool from Sideboards and Things?
The 9' x 12' size anchors most living rooms with front furniture legs resting on the wool surface, while the 10' x 14' format suits great rooms where all seating sits entirely on the rug and clearance from walls remains 18 inches or more. For dining rooms seating six to eight, the 8' x 10' allows 24 inches of rug beyond each pulled-out chair, and the 6' x 9' works in bedrooms where the rug extends 18 to 24 inches past each side of the bed frame. The dark blue medallion pairs naturally with mahogany furniture, damask upholstery, and Persian-inspired decor, making it a strong choice across LOOMLAN rugs and complementary Addison rugs in coordinating tones. Browse Rhody Rug collections for hallway runners that echo the same hand-knotted quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a hand-knotted area rug?
- A hand-knotted rug is woven entirely by hand on a vertical loom, with artisans individually tying each knot of wool to the warp strings to create intricate patterns row by row--this centuries-old technique produces heirloom-quality rugs with superior durability and detail that machine methods cannot replicate.
- How much foot traffic can this rug handle?
- The dense hand-knotted pile stands up to high foot traffic in living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways, wearing evenly over decades when maintained with regular vacuuming and professional cleaning.
- Does it arrive assembled or rolled?
- The rug ships rolled and ready to lay flat--no assembly is required, and standard returnable orders follow the terms on the returns page.
- How do I care for hand-knotted wool?
- Vacuum weekly without a beater bar, rotate the rug every six months for even wear, and have it professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months--do not machine wash, and blot spills immediately with a clean cloth.
- Which size works for a great room?
- The 10' x 14' size anchors great rooms or open-plan spaces where all seating sits entirely on the rug with 18-inch clearance from walls, while the 9' x 12' suits standard living rooms with front furniture legs on the wool surface.
- When will it ship?
