Ivory Relief Grid Hand-Tufted Rug

Construction: Hand Tufted. The rug is created by punching yarn through a stretched canvas using a handheld tufting tool. Once the tufting is complete, the reverse is secured with latex adhesive and finished with protective backing.

Material: The product specification may be listed as Blended Wool with New Zealand Wool, offering softness, resilience, and a rich textural appearance. New Zealand wool is especially valued for its soft hand feel, durability, and clarity of finish.

Colour: A refined palette of ivory, soft cream, and warm off-white tones, with tonal textural contrast rather than bold printed contrast.

Design: A tone-on-tone geometric relief pattern featuring carved rectangular and square motifs arranged in a structured grid formation. The design feels architectural, minimal, and elegant.

The rug is available in:

Hand-Tufted Detail: The rug’s sculpted geometric pattern benefits from hand-tufted craftsmanship, which allows careful control over the pile, texture transitions, and raised surface definition. This helps maintain the elegant relief effect visible across the design.

Backing: A latex-secured canvas construction with a protective backing layer helps hold the fibres in place and support the structure of the rug.

Production Process: The full process includes design development, tracing, yarn preparation and dyeing, hand tufting, backing, shearing, detailing, washing, edge finishing, and final inspection.

Artisans Involved: Depending on the production method, approximately 6–10 skilled people may contribute across design, dyeing, tufting, backing, finishing, and quality inspection.

Manufacturing Time: The complete hand-tufting process can take approximately 4–6 weeks (30–45 days) from start to finish. Collection lead times may vary based on stock position and production scheduling.

Vacuum the rug regularly using low suction and a non-rotary attachment to remove dust and help maintain the surface texture. Avoid using a harsh rotating brush, especially on handcrafted wool rugs with sculpted pile.

For spills, gently blot immediately with a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth. If needed, use a mild wool-safe cleaning solution. Do not rub the area aggressively, as this may affect the pile or the carved design definition.

Using a quality rug pad is highly recommended. A rug pad helps reduce slipping, improves comfort, adds cushioning, and reduces friction between the rug backing and the floor.

Rotate the rug every 3–6 months to distribute wear more evenly, especially in spaces with directional light or regular foot traffic.

Avoid over-wetting the rug, as prolonged moisture can affect the latex backing. For deeper cleaning, professional cleaning is recommended approximately every 1–2 years, ideally by cleaners experienced with hand-tufted rugs.

The Ivory Relief Grid Hand-Tufted Rug is available in multiple sizes, from the 2 × 10 ft runner to the 10 × 14 ft large-format size, making it suitable for compact, medium, and expansive interiors.

Collection lead time and delivery time may vary depending on the selected size, destination, and order status. The hand-tufting process itself may take approximately 4–6 weeks (30–45 days) where production is made to order or completed in active batches.

Each rug is packed carefully to protect its construction during transit. Packaging requirements may vary depending on rug size.

Returns and exchanges are subject to the applicable 1930 Mills return policy, including condition and eligibility criteria.

The Ivory Relief Grid Rug is made through a detailed handcrafted process involving skilled artisans across multiple stages of production. From yarn preparation and tracing to hand tufting, backing, finishing, and inspection, each step contributes to the rug’s quality, softness, and design definition.

Its sculpted monochrome pattern and refined palette make it a versatile statement for modern interiors, while the hand-tufted construction gives it tactile richness and a premium feel.

As a handcrafted product, slight variations in texture, carving depth, and tonal appearance may naturally occur. These are part of the individual character of a handmade rug.

Any applicable warranty or product assurance is provided according to the 1930 Mills terms applicable at the time of purchase.
