The Rush House Original is our signature rug. Made from hand-pulled seagrass, which is dried in the sun, braided into long, golden strands, and constructed into one-foot squares, this rug is completely handmade. Crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations, the Rush House Original rug offers unique character and unmatched texture not found in any machine-made rug. From farmhouses to seaside estates, we haven't found a room that this rug won't flatter. It is easily tailored to any custom size when purchased with our twine & needle sew kit and individual woven squares. That's right - you can make and customize your own rug size by adding squares or sewing two rugs together.
Custom rug sizes can be configured in one-foot increments with our Rug Calculator. Use our Twine & Needle Sew Kit to combine pieces. Ensure minimal color variation between harvests by ordering all connected pieces at once.
Here's how it works!
- ADD SQUARES
Use our package of individual squares and twine & needle sew kit to add additional squares to your rug to increase the width or length. You can also use the twine & needle sew kit to attach to whole rugs together and create an extra large area rug.
- REMOVE SQUARES
Simply use scissors to cut the twine binding the woven squares until you've created the rug size you need. Save excess squares to use as replacement squares or to use as a runner or door mat.
MORE INFORMATION:
This product is one-of-a-kind. No two are exactly alike. Slight variations in color, weave, and size may occur. Woven by hand from coarse, organic seagrass, this product is imperfect by nature. Embrace the homespun look. It adds unmatched character that you won't find in a machine made rug.
When you receive your rug and carefully unroll it, you may notice waves or creases may have formed on the surface. Don't panic! These waves are a result of the stress of rolling and shipping the product. Lay the rug completely flat and as the rug settles, the waves will soften and disappear within 2-3 days.
This rug is not backed. Our Rug Pads will extend the life of your rug. Sample squares available here.
With proper maintenance and care, your seagrass rug will remain beautiful for years. A quality rug pad will extend the life of your rug, keep it in place, and allow breathability. We recommend a non-slip, rubber rug pad for best results. Rotate your rug once a year to avoid excessive wear and sun damage in any one area. v
To keep your rug looking its best, vacuum regularly. Vacuum the rug from several different directions, passing over each area of the rug several times. Rugs placed in high-traffic areas tend to have heavier soil build-up and need to be vacuumed regularly to prolong the life of the rug. Occasionally, vacuum the underside of your rug. Our rugs are handmade and the fibers may breakdown and shed over time. Additionally, vacuuming underneath the rug removes unwanted dirt and build-up accidentally brought inside by feet or paws.
In the event of a spill, use a dry cloth and firmly blot the rug dry (do not rub the liquid). If needed, follow up with a wet rag and blot the rug dry again. For stains, order replacement squares and a sew kit and replace the affected area.
* Every rug is one-of-a-kind. Slight variations in color, weave, and size are expected. Rug thickness is 1/2-inch.
