Selene Para Red Hand Knotted Wool & Silk Rug

A wool and silk blend in a hand-knotted construction does something pure wool cannot—the silk threads catch light and shift the color's intensity depending on viewing angle. In this red rug, that means a rich, saturated tone in direct light and a slightly deeper burgundy-adjacent hue in shadow. The effect adds a dimension to the surface that traditional wool rugs simply don't achieve.

Hand-knotted in a wool and viscose blend, this 8x10 area rug has the density and durability that comes from individual knots tied through the foundation. Silk blends are best suited to moderate-traffic rooms—a bedroom rug, a formal living room rug, or a dining room that sees occasional rather than daily heavy traffic. The traditional pattern reinforces a formal or classically styled interior.

The red tones pair well with darker wood furniture, navy or charcoal upholstery, and rooms with warm ambient lighting. At 8x10, this rug fits under a standard sofa grouping or beneath a dining table seating six.

Act quickly on spills by dabbing with a clean, dry cloth. For persistent stains, gently blot using a mild soap solution, then let the rug dry flat.

Use a handheld vacuum regularly, choosing the lowest power setting and avoiding the beater bar.

Initial fiber shedding is normal and will decrease with consistent vacuuming. Expect more shedding in the first few months.

When necessary, seek professional rug cleaning services.

Enhance safety and longevity by using a rug pad. This prevents slipping and protects both your rug and floor from damage.
