Stone Grid Hand-Tufted Rug

Construction: Hand Tufted. The rug is made by punching wool yarn through a stretched canvas using a handheld tufting gun. Once the design is completed, the reverse is secured with latex adhesive and finished with a protective backing to help 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, bright natural base, durability, and ability to hold detailed textures and carved surfaces beautifully.

Colour: Soft stone, beige, sand, greige, and warm taupe tones, creating a calm neutral palette that feels elegant, earthy, and highly versatile.

Design: A modern all-over geometric grid design with repeating square forms and subtle textural contrast. The raised square detailing gives the rug an architectural and softly sculpted surface while preserving a clean and minimal overall look.

Hand-Tufted Detail: This rug is built through a detailed hand-tufting and finishing process. The repeating square-grid layout requires careful spacing and consistency so the pattern stays balanced across the entire surface. After tufting, the rug may be sheared and surface-refined to enhance the textural contrast between the squares and the base field, helping the design appear crisp, soft, and visually premium.

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

Production Process: The making process typically includes design development, tracing, yarn preparation and dyeing, hand tufting, latex backing, shearing, surface refinement, washing, edge finishing, and final quality inspection.

Artisans Involved: Depending on the rug and production flow, approximately 6–10 skilled people may contribute across the various stages, including design tracing, yarn preparation, tufting, backing, shearing, finishing, and washing.

Manufacturing Time: The complete handcrafted production process generally takes around 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. The beater bar should remain off. For spills, blot immediately using a clean dry or slightly damp cloth. If needed, use a mild wool-safe detergent, but avoid strong chemicals, aggressive scrubbing, or soaking the rug.

It is recommended to place the rug over a good-quality rug pad. A rug pad helps improve grip, reduces shifting, adds cushioning underfoot, and protects both the rug backing and the flooring beneath it. Rotate the rug 180 degrees every 3–6 months so foot traffic and light exposure are distributed more evenly.

As this is a hand-tufted rug with latex backing, it should not be machine washed or saturated with water. Excessive moisture may affect the adhesive and overall backing structure over time. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended approximately every 1–2 years. Always tell the cleaner that the rug is hand-tufted so a suitable low-moisture cleaning method can be used.

The Stone Grid Hand-Tufted Rug is available in multiple sizes, from the 2 × 10 ft runner size up to the spacious 10 × 14 ft size, making it suitable for compact corners as well as large-format living rooms, lounges, and bedrooms.

The listed collection lead time is 7–15 days, while the final delivery timeline may vary depending on the chosen size, production status, shipping destination, and dispatch method.

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

The Stone Grid Rug is created through a multi-stage handcrafted process that combines material quality, craftsmanship, and surface finishing. From tracing and yarn preparation to tufting, backing, shearing, washing, and inspection, each stage contributes to the rug’s final texture, structure, and elegant appearance.

The use of wool and New Zealand wool in the specified composition gives the rug a soft premium feel and helps support the clarity of its subtle geometric pattern. The all-over square-grid design, soft tonal variation, and refined hand-tufted construction together give the rug a distinct handcrafted identity that feels timeless, modern, and sophisticated.

As with all handcrafted rugs, slight variations in texture, fibre placement, edge finish, or colour perception may naturally occur and are part of the rug’s 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.
