Ivory Scallop Hand-Tufted Rug

Construction: Hand Tufted. The rug is created by punching wool yarn through a stretched canvas using a handheld tufting gun. Once the tufting is complete, the reverse is secured with latex adhesive and a protective backing, helping hold the fibres firmly in place.

Material: The product specification lists Blended Wool with New Zealand Wool. New Zealand wool is valued for its soft feel, naturally bright base, long fibres, and ability to hold colour and carved detailing effectively.

Colour: Soft ivory, cream, off-white, and warm ecru tones, creating a subtle monochromatic palette that feels airy, elegant, and easy to style.

Design: A refined tone-on-tone geometric design with carved line detailing and a distinctive scalloped outer border. The rug has a soft sculptural look that feels decorative yet minimal, making it ideal for elegant contemporary interiors.

Hand-Tufted Detail: The rug is built layer by layer through hand tufting, followed by backing, shearing, and finishing. The soft carved geometric lines and the scalloped contour require careful tracing and controlled execution so the design remains balanced, clean, and consistent across the entire rug surface. Where required, artisans may hand-refine portions of the surface to improve the definition of the pattern and enhance its sculpted appearance.

Backing: A latex-secured canvas construction is used to hold the tufted fibres in place, with protective backing applied to the reverse.

Production Process: The complete process involves design and tracing, wool dyeing and yarn preparation, hand tufting, backing, shearing, carving or surface refinement where required, washing, edge finishing, and final quality inspection.

Artisans Involved: The making process can involve designers and tracers, dyers and yarn preparers, tufters, backers, shearers, finishers, and washers, with approximately 6–10 skilled people contributing across the different stages.

Manufacturing Time: The detailed hand-tufting process can take approximately 4–6 weeks (30–45 days) from start to finish. The listed collection lead time is 7–15 days, subject to order and production requirements.

Vacuum the rug regularly using low suction and a non-rotary attachment to remove dust and loose fibres gently without pulling at the tufted surface. Keep the beater bar turned off. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth. If needed, use a mild wool-safe detergent, but avoid harsh chemicals, aggressive rubbing, or over-wetting the rug.

Always place the rug over a quality rug pad. A rug pad improves grip, prevents shifting, adds cushioning, and reduces friction between the rug backing and the flooring underneath. Rotate the rug 180 degrees every 3–6 months so foot traffic and sunlight exposure are distributed more evenly.

Because this is a hand-tufted rug with latex backing, it should not be soaked or machine washed. Avoid excessive moisture and prolonged damp conditions, as these can affect the adhesive and backing structure over time. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended approximately every 1–2 years. Always inform the cleaner that the rug is hand-tufted so an appropriate low-moisture cleaning method can be used.

The Ivory Scallop Hand-Tufted Rug is available in multiple sizes, from the 2 × 10 ft runner size through to the generous 10 × 14 ft size, making it suitable for compact styling areas as well as large-format living spaces and bedrooms.

The listed collection lead time is 7–15 days, with final delivery timelines depending on the selected size, production status, destination, and shipping method.

Each rug is prepared and packed carefully for transportation. Since rugs vary in size and weight, packaging and handling may differ depending on the chosen size. Returns and exchanges are subject to the applicable 1930 Mills return policy, including product condition and eligibility requirements.

The Ivory Scallop Rug is created through a detailed multi-stage hand-tufting process that combines craftsmanship, material quality, and surface finishing. From tracing the design and preparing the yarn to tufting, backing, shearing, detailing, washing, and inspection, each stage contributes to the rug’s final softness, structure, and visual refinement.

The use of wool and New Zealand wool in the specified construction provides a premium tactile surface and a naturally elegant finish. The carved linework, soft tone-on-tone expression, and scalloped edge together give the rug a distinctive handcrafted identity that feels decorative, calm, and timeless.

As a handcrafted product, slight variations in texture, fibre placement, edge finish, or colour perception may naturally occur and are part of its authentic character.

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