Shensi Navy Medallion Rug

Where Craftsmanship Meets Colour

The Shensi Navy Medallion Rug from The Rugs is a hand-tufted wool rug that brings depth, warmth, and considered elegance to any room it inhabits. Its intricate medallion pattern — rendered in rich navy — draws the eye without overwhelming the space, making it equally at home in a classic drawing room or a contemporary open-plan living area.

Constructed from 100% pure wool with a substantial 2500 gr/m² weight, the Shensi has the kind of reassuring presence underfoot that only a genuinely well-made rug can offer. The 25 mm pile height delivers a plush, cushioned feel that invites bare feet and anchors furniture with quiet authority. A durable cotton canvas and latex backing keeps the rug firmly in place, maintaining its structure through years of daily use.

Key Features

The Shensi is crafted from 100% pure wool, offering a naturally soft, breathable surface that regulates temperature and resists everyday wear. At 2500 gr/m², the dense construction gives the rug a premium, substantial feel that holds its shape beautifully over time. The 25 mm pile height provides generous cushioning underfoot, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere in any setting. Hand-tufting ensures a refined, detailed finish with consistent pile depth and lasting durability — a mark of genuine craftsmanship. The timeless medallion pattern introduces sophistication and visual interest while remaining versatile enough to complement both traditional and modern interiors. A cotton canvas and latex backing provides reliable structural support and everyday stability, keeping the rug neatly in position.

How to Use

Use the Shensi Navy Medallion Rug to anchor a seating arrangement in a living room, placing it so that the front legs of sofas and armchairs sit on the rug to unify the space. In a bedroom, position it beneath the lower two-thirds of the bed for a luxurious landing each morning. For hallways, the 67×210 cm size works particularly well, running the length of the space to add warmth and visual direction. Pair with neutral furniture, warm wood tones, and soft metallic accents for a balanced, elegant finish — or bring in subtle navy details through cushions or artwork to create a cohesive colour story.

Please note: Wool rugs naturally shed due to the characteristics of real wool fibres. This is completely normal and part of the rug's natural structure. Shedding will gradually reduce with regular vacuuming.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Shensi rug suitable for underfloor heating? Wool rugs can be used with underfloor heating systems, but we recommend keeping the floor surface temperature below 27°C to protect the fibres and backing. Always check with your heating system installer for specific guidance.

Will the rug shed? Yes — all wool rugs shed naturally, particularly in the first few weeks of use. This is a normal characteristic of real wool fibres and will reduce significantly with regular vacuuming. Avoid using a beater attachment; a standard suction head is ideal.

How do I clean the Shensi rug? For routine maintenance, vacuum regularly using a suction-only head. For spot cleaning, blot spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth — do not rub. For a deeper clean, we recommend professional rug cleaning to preserve the wool fibres and hand-tufted construction.

Which size should I choose for my living room? For a standard living room seating arrangement, the 120×180 cm or 150×240 cm sizes work best, allowing the front legs of sofas and chairs to sit on the rug. For a smaller space or bedroom, the 75×150 cm or 67×127 cm options are ideal.

Is the round option the same quality as the rectangular sizes? Yes — the Ø 120 cm round version is made using the same 100% wool construction, 25 mm pile height, and hand-tufting technique as all other sizes in the Shensi range.

Does the rug come with a non-slip underlay? A non-slip underlay is not included but is recommended, particularly on hard flooring, to prevent movement and protect both the rug and your floor surface.
