How do I choose the right size and shape?

Size it to the furniture, not the floor: at least 18 in shows beyond the sides and foot of a bed, and under a dining table it runs 24 in (60 cm) past the edge. Zahra comes in three shapes, Classic, Round and Runner, in a standard size or a custom size priced as you type. The size guide has plans room by room.

Will I hear from you while it's made?

We write at every stage: the order confirmation, the day knotting begins, the day your rug is finished, and tracking when it ships.

Does the medallion on Zahra sit in the center of every size?

The stepped medallion keeps the center and stays whole in every size and shape.

Is Zahra hand-knotted or tufted?

Hand-knotted, row by row, in 100% natural wool; nothing is tufted or glued to a backing.

Where does Zahra work best?

This rug is at its best in a kids room, where its color gives the room a lift. Short or medium pile keeps blocks and toy cars upright. It also suits a living room.

How does the stepped medallion read in each pile height?

The stepped outline stays sharpest in short 0.4 in (1 cm) pile, where the hooks and diamonds keep their points. Medium 0.8 in (2 cm) adds the softness that makes the medallion seem to float above the field. In shag 1.2 in (3 cm) the small marks blur into the ground and the color leads.

How do I care for Zahra, and will it shed?

Vacuum with suction only, no beater bar, and blot spills at once with cool water from the edge inward; never rub. New wool sheds loose fiber for its first weeks, then settles. Turn the rug now and then so sun and wear spread evenly. The care guide covers stains.

Can I order Zahra in other colors?

Choose from our 30 wool shades on the rug's page and an instant preview shows your version; the one you approve is the one the weavers make. It costs 10% more than the size's price and takes one extra week.

About this rug

Oleander in bloom, a bee-eater among the petals. Zahra is Arabic for flower; this medallion Boujaad rug sets the bird's bright breast at its heart, a softer field at either end. Weavers once tied every part of it from memory. Zarbish knots it today.

The medallion's steps are cut in wool, not line, so each step rounds off a little where the pile meets the next tone. The small hooks and chevrons sit on the surface like stitches, and the frame along the edge keeps its line from end to end.
