Our hand-woven jute rug channels the Arts & Crafts movement's love of nature through a repeating floral trellis pattern. The rug features clusters of ivory and orange blooms climbing eggplant-toned vines across a moss green and gray field, giving the design a garden-like rhythm from corner to corner. Woven flat from jute with a cotton fringe finish, the surface lies close to the floor with a light, textured feel. That flatweave construction also makes it easy to flip and rotate, so wear spreads evenly over time, kid's room included. It's a rug that pairs old-world pattern with a practical, everyday build.

Story Behind the Art: Originating as a protest against mass produced inferior factory products of the 19th century, the Arts and Crafts Movement favored originality and craftsmanship. William Morris, main proponent of the movement, emphasized the use of handcrafts over the use of machinery and introduced a new design sensibility that evoked nature in home interiors through furniture, upholstery, wallpaper and rugs with intricate intertwining fruit, flower, and foliage patterns. The popularity of Morris’s rug designs has endured to the current times and stands emblematic of Art & Crafts rugs with their simple, bold, informal design themes rooted in nature. Today, the Arts & Crafts rugs embrace a multitude of styles ranging from the Art Nouveau style (rug patterns with flowing, curvilinear lines and nature-inspired, floral designs), Mission-style as well as geometric patterns inspired by Native American designs, American Prairie style and Caucasian rugs (hand-knotted rugs made in a small, Middle-Eastern region called the Caucasus). Arts and Crafts Rugs' natural motifs and interesting color palette add to their versatility and enduring charm.
