Verdure Grid Hand-Tufted Rug | Ivory & Olive Green Bordered Check Design

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 detailed patterns effectively.

Colour: A sophisticated combination of ivory, soft cream, muted olive green, and subtle earthy neutral tones, creating a calm yet distinctive palette suited to contemporary and luxury interiors.

Design: A minimalist checked grid pattern across the central field, framed by a solid olive green border. The design balances geometry and softness, giving the rug a refined, architectural appearance.

Hand-Tufted Detail: The design is built layer by layer through hand tufting, followed by backing, shearing, and finishing. The crisp border and fine checked layout require careful control during tufting to maintain even spacing and a well-balanced composition. Where required, skilled artisans may hand-finish or refine the surface for greater clarity and definition.

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 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, carvers, and washers/finishers, 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 without putting unnecessary stress on the tufted surface. Keep the beater bar turned off. This helps preserve both the structure of the wool pile and the clean definition of the grid pattern.

For spills, gently blot the affected area immediately with a clean, damp cloth and, when necessary, use a mild wool-safe detergent. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as this can loosen or distort tufted fibres and affect the appearance of the design.

Always place the rug over a quality rug pad. A rug pad helps prevent slipping and bunching, adds cushioning, and reduces friction between the latex-backed rug and hard flooring.

Rotate the rug 180 degrees every 3–6 months to distribute foot traffic evenly and minimise uneven fading from sunlight. This is especially useful for maintaining a balanced appearance across both the central field and darker border.

Keep the rug dry and avoid soaking it or placing it in persistently damp areas, as excessive moisture can affect the backing adhesive. For deeper cleaning, professional 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 Verdure Grid Hand-Tufted Rug is available in multiple sizes, from the 2 × 10 ft runner size through to the generous 10 × 14 ft size, allowing it to work across compact rooms as well as larger living, lounge, and bedroom interiors.

The listed collection lead time is 7–15 days, with the final delivery timeline depending on the selected size, production status, destination, and shipping method. The full hand-tufting manufacturing process can take approximately 4–6 weeks (30–45 days) when production is made to order or based on current availability.

Each rug is prepared and packed carefully for transportation. Because rugs are available in different sizes and weights, packaging and handling requirements may vary between orders. Returns and exchanges are subject to the applicable 1930 Mills return policy, including product condition and eligibility requirements.

The Verdure Grid Rug is produced through a detailed hand-tufting process involving multiple stages of skilled craftsmanship. From design tracing and yarn preparation to tufting, backing, shearing, finishing, and inspection, each stage contributes to the final appearance and durability of the rug.

The use of wool and New Zealand wool in the specified construction provides a naturally textured and premium foundation, while the handcrafted process gives the rug its distinct character. The subtle grid work and border detailing reflect the care involved in translating a structured design into a soft, tactile surface.

As a handcrafted product, minor variations in texture, fibre placement, line definition, and colour perception may naturally occur and are part of its individual character.

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