Indian modern rug, 8x10 (8' x 9'9"), hand-loomed wool & bamboo silk in gray, beige & ivory. Tone-on-tone streaked gray field with a thin red outline and a few small tree and arrow symbols near one end. We are happy to send natural daylight photos or a short video on request.
Where it fits: Room size: a living room, under a dining table with chairs, or under a queen or king bed. This page offers a Durahold Plus felt-and-rubber pad cut to this rug's size.
Care | Try at home | Free shipping: Vacuum without the beater bar and turn it end to end once or twice a year so it wears evenly. When it needs washing, have it cleaned by a professional rug cleaner, never with a carpet shampooer. One of a kind. Take it home on approval from our Evanston or Chicago showroom, or order it with free U.S. shipping and 30-day returns.
Rugs ship free anywhere in the contiguous United States, carefully packed. Orders go out the same or next business day and you get tracking by email. Alaska, Hawaii and international: many rugs still ship free as a courtesy; the line under the price says whether this one does where you are.
Not right in your room? Return it within 30 days of delivery, in the condition it arrived, or bring it to either showroom. No restocking fee on our handmade rugs, and exchanges are free; details are in the return policy.
Prices are marked on every rug. Found a similar rug for less elsewhere? We'll match it.
Every handmade rug we sell is guaranteed for life to be authentic and of the quality described: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials in its listing. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
This rug was woven by hand on a loom, one row at a time. Small variations in color and shape are the marks of the weaver’s hand.
Rugistan® was founded in 2021 by Shams Frough. He served five years alongside U.S. forces as an interpreter in his native Afghanistan, then made Chicago home, where he put himself through college and is still studying today.
Shams and his wife run Rugistan® together, with showrooms in Evanston and Chicago. He still travels to the weaving regions himself and buys most of our rugs in person, from the families and workshops who make them. That's how we keep our prices fair. We also clean and repair handmade rugs.
What people mention most: honest prices, no pressure, and taking rugs home on approval before buying.
Works beautifully with: white or charcoal walls, light or gray-washed floors, velvet in deep colors, chrome and black accents.
Go easy on: yellow-orange wood floors, which make cool grays look dull.

Most of our handmade rugs are one of a kind. If the listing says one in stock, this is the only one, and it is on our floor at the Chicago showroom until it sells.
Yes. Visit either showroom, take it home on approval, or ask us for a FaceTime or video walk-around so you see the colors in daylight before we ship.
Yes. Like every handmade rug we sell, it carries a lifetime guarantee of authenticity and quality. It is what this listing says it is: hand-knotted or handwoven, with the origin, age and materials described. If it ever proves otherwise, bring it back for a full refund.
The exact size is listed above. For a living room, leave about 18 inches of floor around the rug and keep the front legs of the sofa on it. Chat or text us your room measurements and we will tell you honestly if it fits.
Every rug page has a box to add a Durahold Plus pad custom cut to the rug, so the two can arrive together. Rugs over $1,000 include that pad free: keep it in your cart and tell us in chat or in the order note, and we take the pad off the total before the order ships.
Free insured U.S. shipping on every rug in the continental U.S. Online orders can be returned within 30 days in the condition received; no restocking fee on our handmade rugs, and exchanges are free within 30 days. Pack the rug the way it arrived, in its original packaging or in plastic.
It measures 8' x 9'9" (244 x 297 cm), not including the fringe. Handmade rugs can vary slightly from end to end.
Vacuum without the beater bar and blot spills right away. A hand-knotted rug should always be cleaned professionally, never in the home. Rugistan® hand-washes and repairs rugs at both showrooms.
