Hand knotted by HRI in India. A very dense pile of PET yarn that is not only long wearing but also stain resistant, great for high traffic areas.This is definitely a Performance area rug. The unique design has the look of 'crackle glass' in colorations that range from white on white to rich charcoal and grey. Crackle glass was first introduced in Venice in the 16th century and is as popular as ever in today's contemporary home furnishings. About RugStudio Rug Studio is the e-commerce division of Oriental Rug Gallery, L.P., a fourth-generation family-owned company based in San Antonio, Texas. For nearly 100 years, our family has built a trusted reputation in rug manufacturing, importing, wholesaling, and retailing - always rooted in quality, value, and service. Our story began in 1930 with founder Kaloust Aijian, an Armenian Genocide survivor who fled his village of Hadjin and came to America by way of France, arriving through New York Harbor. With deep knowledge of fine rugs and a relentless work ethic, he built a respected business founded on craftsmanship, integrity, and personal service. Kaloust first operated a rug boutique inside D.H. Holmes in New Orleans before relocating in 1946 to San Antonio, where he established Oriental Rug Gallery inside Joske's downtown store - laying the foundation for decades of growth in Texas. Today, led by Kaloust's grandchildren and great-grandchildren, we continue that legacy online through Rug Studio, helping customers nationwide find the perfect rug - from handmade heirlooms and traditional Orientals to modern designs for today's interiors. Shipping Returns Due to the artisanal nature of our rugs, slight variations in color and size may occur. Please note that screen settings and lighting conditions can also affect how colors appear.
