Product details
When you need an area rug that pairs artisan texture with a velvety finish, hand-loomed construction delivers both. The SUNPAN Caruso Hand-Loomed Viscose Rug -- a hand-woven area rug in cream and ivory tones -- is available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. Indian artisans weave each piece on manual looms, so the organic patterning varies from rug to rug, and the 100% viscose fibers bring a silk-like luster that anchors modern interiors without the cost of natural silk.

Why Choose a Hand-Loomed Rug from Sideboards and Things?
The medium cut pile -- 10 to 13 mm -- balances comfort underfoot with the durability high-traffic spaces demand, and the neutral cream palette complements wood tones, linen upholstery and jute accents common in our furniture collections. Use the 8' x 10' size to anchor a seating group with all front furniture legs on the rug, or choose the 9' x 12' for a dining table that seats six to eight, allowing chairs to remain fully on the rug when pulled out. The 10' x 14' option fits spacious open-concept layouts, while the 6' x 9' works under a queen bed or in a smaller conversation zone.
Because each rug is hand-loomed by skilled artisans in India, the organic patterning carries the texture variations that set true artisan rugs apart from machine-made alternatives. Routine care is straightforward: vacuum with suction-only settings and rotate the rug every three months to maintain the soft finish; reserve professional cleaning for deep stains only. A rug pad is recommended to prevent shifting on hardwood or tile.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a sideboard, a credenza and a buffet?
- A sideboard is a low cabinet with doors or drawers for dining room storage; a credenza is typically longer with sliding doors and sits against a wall; a buffet serves the same storage function as a sideboard and the terms are often used interchangeably.
- Can this rug be machine washed?
- No; the hand-loomed viscose construction requires professional cleaning for deep stains, and routine maintenance is handled with suction-only vacuuming.
- Is the Caruso rug suitable for outdoor use?
- No; this rug is rated for indoor use only and viscose will not withstand UV exposure or moisture.
- Which size should I choose for a dining table?
- The 9' x 12' rug fits a 72-inch dining table and allows 24 inches of rug beyond the table edge when chairs are pulled out; the 8' x 10' works for smaller tables or living room seating groups.
- Does the rug arrive assembled, and what is the shipping time?
- The rug ships ready to use with no assembly required; the lead time for this item is 48-72 hours, and free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
