The gorgeous Calanthe area rug is power woven in Belgium from silky Viscose yarns. The elegant Persian inspired Medallion motif is highlighted by floral designs and a light distressed, washed look that is perfect for most styles from Boho to traditonal. The flat pile height is great for areas where doorways are a consideration and high traffic areas. The viscose material is ultra soft to the touch and creates a light sheen depending on the direction the rug is turned in the room. A durable non-slip Jute backing helps keep the rug from slipping, however we recommend a rug pad as well to prolong the life of the rug and to help keep the rug in place (sold separately).
