A 12'x15' rug measures 12 feet by 15 feet, or 366 by 457 centimeters, and is the largest standard size in the collection. It is made for grand living rooms, formal dining rooms with ten or more seats, and large open-plan spaces where a smaller rug would be lost in the scale of the room. At this size the rug becomes the defining element of the space rather than an accessory within it, and the furniture sits within the rug rather than anchoring it from the edges.
Finding a genuinely hand-knotted rug at 12'x15 is rare. Most rugs at this size on the market are machine-made or power-loomed. Every piece in this collection is hand-knotted in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which means the weaving of a single rug at this scale can take a team of weavers more than a year to complete. The result is a piece that improves with age rather than wearing out, and that carries a depth of pattern and colour no machine-made rug can replicate. For help choosing the right size, see our complete rug size guide. For slightly smaller large rugs, see the 10x14 collection and 9x12 collection.
