The Millstone Area Rug from Alder & Ore is hand-tufted in India from wool with a cotton cloth backing, carrying a traditional-style pattern that has a restrained, orderly quality — detailed enough to give the rug visual interest without feeling decoratively heavy. The wool pile offers a soft, comfortable feel underfoot, and the cotton cloth backing provides structure without the stiffness of a latex foundation, giving the construction a slightly more supple character overall.
