Product details
A high-traffic hallway or living room demands flooring that holds its pile height through years of daily wear, yet most area rugs flatten and mat within their first season. The Baum Abstract gray large area rug -- a New Zealand wool power-loomed rug with hand-carved texture -- is available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. An area rug is a textile floor covering sized to define a specific zone rather than wall-to-wall space, and this 80-percent wool, 20-percent Tencel blend undergoes hand-washing, hand-carving and hand-surging after weaving to deliver plush depth without the cost of hand-knotted construction. Ships in 48-72 hours across six sizes from 2'6 x 8 in. runners to a 10 x 13 ft. statement piece.

Why Choose a Power-Loomed Wool Rug from Sideboards and Things?
This hybrid construction uses machine weaving for structural consistency, then receives the same hand-washing, carving and surging techniques found on traditional hand-knotted pieces -- authentic texture and flexibility at a fraction of the price. Pure New Zealand wool resists the matting that plagues synthetic fibers, maintaining pile height through foot traffic, while Tencel adds subtle light-reflective highlights that create dimensional interest across the abstract pattern. The side-woven construction means no rigid backing, so the rug conforms naturally to floor contours and furniture placement in any room from your furniture-anchored living room to a wide hallway.
An 8 x 10 ft. rug anchors sectionals with all front furniture legs resting on the surface, ideal for pairing with modern LOOMLAN rugs in adjacent zones. A 9 x 12 ft. piece accommodates full furniture placement including side chairs, or centers beneath a 72-inch dining table with 24 inches extending beyond chair backs on all sides. Runner sizes -- 2'6 x 8 ft. and 2'6 x 10 ft. -- define hallways and kitchen work zones without overwhelming narrow spaces. The abstract gray tonal shading complements mid-century modern and minimalist aesthetics, working seamlessly alongside charcoal upholstery or glass accent tables in open-plan interiors.
