Konvarne Traditional Low Pile Pure Wool Round Rug - Wine

Konvarne is a traditional low pile rug in pure wool, and it comes as a round. The centre is a deep wine red holding a cream medallion filled with soft pink roses and sage green leaves, and a wide cream border runs all the way round, trimmed with scrolling green bands and more flowers. The pattern has a textured look that keeps each motif crisp. The pile is 100% wool, hand tufted and kept low at 1cm, giving a short, even surface underfoot. We offer it in one size, a 120cm round.

A round rug softens a room full of straight lines, and at 120cm across this one suits the smaller spaces where a larger rug would crowd the floor. Lay it beside a bed so your first step of the morning lands on wool, in front of an armchair for a reading spot, or under a small round coffee table in a living room. The wine, cream and green palette sits comfortably with warm wood and pale walls. Keep it to dry rooms: the maker's care asks that it stay off damp or wet floors, so a bathroom or a boot room is the wrong place for it.

With a 1cm wool pile and an overall thickness of 1.5cm, it lies low, but check the clearance wherever a door swings across the floor. The maker asks for spot cleaning only, with no brushing or scrubbing, and vacuuming on a low suction setting without the beater bar. A little shedding is natural in a new wool rug, and if a strand works loose, snip it level with scissors rather than pulling it. Never fold it. On a smooth floor such as laminate or tile, an underlay helps keep it in place, and marking out a 120cm circle with tape shows how much floor it will cover.

Will a 120cm round rug fit beside a double bed?

Yes. At 120cm across it suits one side of a double bed, with part of it tucked under the frame and the rest where you step out. For wool underfoot on both sides, you would want two.

Can I use a carpet shampooer or steam cleaner on it?

We would not. The maker's care is spot clean only and asks that the rug is kept off damp or wet surfaces, so blot a spill promptly with a clean cloth rather than soaking the wool.

Can it go in a kitchen or dining room?

A dry dining room suits it well, but a kitchen puts it near sinks and spills, and the maker asks that it is not used on a damp or wet surface, so we would keep it elsewhere.

Does the pattern have a top and a bottom?

Not really. The design is built around a central medallion with the border repeating evenly all the way round, so you can turn it to face any way without the pattern looking misaligned.
