The Citizenry Ustav Area Rug

Hand-knotting is the gold standard for rug construction. Because each knot is tied individually by hand, the rug is exceptionally durable and resistant to shedding, making it an heirloom-quality piece that can withstand high-traffic areas like living rooms.

New Zealand wool is known for its long, strong fibers, which naturally shed less than lower-quality wools. While all high-pile wool rugs may experience some minor shedding initially, regular vacuuming will quickly resolve this as the rug settles into your space.

With a 0.75-inch pile, this rug offers a plush, substantial feel that provides significant cushioning. It is designed to be soft and comfortable to walk on, making it an excellent choice for spaces where you want to add warmth and texture.

Oeko-Tex certification ensures that every component of the rug—from the wool fibers to the dyes—has been tested and verified to be free from harmful levels of over 100 substances. It guarantees that the rug is safe for your home and family.

For routine maintenance, vacuum regularly without using a beater bar to protect the pile. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub, as this can damage the wool fibers. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep cleans.

Because this rug is crafted from undyed wool and marled ecru tones, there may be subtle variations in the color and texture. These natural nuances are a hallmark of artisanal production and ensure that each rug has a unique, organic character.
