Product details
Large rooms call for rugs built to fill the floor with artisan quality and lasting durability. The Clot Floral charcoal area rug -- a hand-knotted Persian floral rug in charcoal with ivory accents, crafted from New Zealand wool and Tencel -- is available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. Hand-knotted construction means each wool strand is individually tied to the foundation by skilled craftsmen in India, a traditional technique that requires months of labor and produces a rug that improves with age rather than wearing down under foot traffic.

Why Choose Hand-Knotted Wool from Sideboards and Things?
The 30% Tencel content creates subtle shimmer as light hits the floral motif, while the hand-spun New Zealand wool delivers natural resilience that withstands decades of use in living rooms and offices. Multi-step hand washing by artisans imparts a rich patina and softens the wool before it reaches your door, so the rug feels comfortable underfoot from day one. The charcoal ground anchors seating groups without competing with upholstery or case goods, and the hand-serged edges prevent fraying even in high-traffic zones -- pair it with pieces from our furniture collection or layer it over options from Addison Rugs for cohesive room design.How to Size a Large-Format Rug
The 9' x 12' format anchors seating groups in living rooms measuring roughly 14' x 18', while the 10' x 14' size suits great rooms and open-concept layouts exceeding 20' in length. In dining applications, ensure the rug extends at least 36 inches beyond the table edge on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out. The 8' x 10' option fits traditional living rooms with 12' x 16' dimensions, and the 6' x 9' works well under smaller conversation areas or as a grounding layer in bedrooms with vintage storage pieces from our LOOMLAN Rugs collection.Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a sideboard, a credenza and a buffet?
- A sideboard typically stands on legs and offers open or cabinet storage for dining room service; a credenza sits lower with sliding doors and often appears in offices or living rooms; a buffet resembles a sideboard but may include a hutch top for display.
- Does the Clot rug arrive assembled?
- Yes -- this rug ships flat-folded and requires no assembly; simply unroll it in place and allow the pile to settle over 24 to 48 hours.
- How do I care for a hand-knotted wool rug?
- Vacuum weekly with a brushless suction head, blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth, rotate the rug every six months to even wear, and have it professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months rather than attempting home washing.
- What lead time should I expect?
- This rug ships within 48-72 hours of order placement, and curbside delivery to the continental USA is free.
- Can I return the rug if the size doesn't work?
- Standard return terms apply to all listed sizes; see our returns page at checkout for complete policy details.
- Which size works best for a large living room?
- Choose the 9' x 12' for rooms around 14' x 18' or the 10' x 14' for great rooms over 20' long, leaving approximately 18 inches of exposed floor on all sides of the rug.
