Franklin Persian-Style Rug

We are proud to offer our artisan-made rugs - each is hand-tufted and washed for heft, beautiful luster and subtle color. Reinventing the look of Turkish Oushak carpets, this rug features stylized botanicals in deep, rich hues. Shedding of loose fibers is normal and is a natural result of the process used to create our high-quality handmade wool rugs. With regular vacuuming and proper care, the shedding will diminish. Click here for {{link path='pages/popups/wool_rug_care_popup.html' class='popup' width='480' height='300'}}recommended care{{/link}}. Handcrafted of pure, yarn-dyed wool by artisan rug makers. Luster washed for rich, mellow color and a silky feel. Sheared pile is velvety to the touch. Self bound for quality that endures. Rug swatches, below, are available for $25 each. We will provide a merchandise refund for rug swatches if they're returned within 30 days. Use with our Rug Pad (sold separately).

Good Looking pain in the butt
November 26, 2012
This rug looks very nice and matches our living room with brick fireplace and wall and dark brown leather-look microfiber sofas. The red is more of a rustic barn red than the burgundy look online. The colors on the small 3x5 rug are deeper and more vibrant than the large 9x12 rug.
Problem is the rug sheds like 3 plus Golden Retrievers in your house! Worse part is it keeps clogging the hose on my Dyson canister vacuum requiring "operation" to remove the clog. Our kids clothes get covered in wool fuzz and it is tracked all over the house. I am by no means a neat freak...I once had 7 dogs in the old house on carpet floors, but that wasn't usually as messy as these rugs.

Great Rug!
November 18, 2012
So far this rug has been real nice. It's very plush, feels good under my feet and looks great on my tiled sun room floor. The burgundy color picks up well with the colors in my family room.

The colors are good, the pattern is good, but the shedding is over the top! It will fill a vacuum bag in no time !

Love the look, hate the smell!
August 31, 2012
I bought the Franklin Rug 5-6 years ago and love how beautiful it is. By far, it is my favorite! Unfortunately, as time has passed, the rug has developed a "Wet Dog" smell. I have had it professionally steam cleaned and the odor just continues to get worse. The smell is so bad, that i can no longer keep it in my house. The garage will now be the home of my beautiful Franklin Rug :(

Absolutely LOVE this rug
March 21, 2012
I purchased this in the 9x12 size and love the pattern and colors. Muted burgundy and greens looks fantastic in the room, so this rug is the perfect complement. I looked in many stores and could not be happier with this selection and price. In fact, I loved it so much that I bought a 5x8 as well! These are now my 8th and 9th rugs from PB, some of which are still lookung great after 12 years of being in hig traffic areas. I have my eye on another for the dining room-- you can not go wrong with PB rugs from any of their affiliates.

Fabulous Franklin Runner
January 25, 2012
Franklin Persian Style Runner is designed well, excellent quality for the price. Colors in picture are true to actual colors. Back ordered but arrived well before expected date. Matching rug I purchased one year ago has held up extremely well in high traffic area. Plus we have a dog that likes to sleep on it. Still looks new. Very pleased with these products!

Excellent rugs
January 5, 2012
This is the fourth PB rug I have ordered in as many months as part of a whole house remodel. I was so pleased with the first one, I just kept on ordering, racking up points which practically paid for the fourth one. The color shown on the monitor is quite accurate, the workmanship is excellent, and the plushness is just what I was hoping for. I've looked at many sites searching for rugs; these are just unbeatable values, looking far more expensive than they are. A decorator who was assisting us with window treatments thought they were beautiful, and made a note to herself to check out these rugs. These are very beautiful rugs. I just wish there were more sizes and shapes: round, small 2'' x 3', and longer runners. If there were longer runners, there is a hall I'd like to adorn with one of these fine pieces. Even if one could do a special order, it would be worth waiting for.

Stands the test of time
January 2, 2012
This is a beautiful rug. I bought this rug in a 3X5 about 3 years ago. It WAS a very dark burgundy at first but now it is a bit lighter in color probably due to the shedding. It finally stopped shedding after almost a year so just plan on vacuuming quite a bit at first and emptying the vacuum cleaner bag often. Ours is in a high traffic hallway area and looks clean most of the time. It is on a dark brown wood floor and is very good looking. We have wood floors all over our two story house and it is difficult it is to find wool rugs that you like. Also, I had seen this in a friend's house who had it for 5 years at her front door and hers was more of a barn red. So, I was quite surprised when I received mine and it was such a dark burgundy. Since it was a 3X5 we could just move it to where the color would work better.

deceiving color
November 25, 2011
The rug is very plush, well made, beautiful design. However the color is not exactly as shown online. The deep red that you see online and in the catalogue is really more of a maroon, which is a color I'm not particularly fond of. Other than that, the rug is great. I got compliments on this same rug that I have in another color, but not on this one.

Gorgeous Rug
October 19, 2011
I purchased two of these rugs for my kitchen. They do shed a little, but I'm pretty sure that will stop, thus the five star rating. The rugs are very well made and the colors are deep and rich.

Searched for hours and chose this PB rug
August 22, 2011
I looked all over the internet for the best rug, but I have ordered other Pottery Barn rugs before and I knew that there was pride in workmanship from other rugs that I have purchased from them. I am really pleased with my purchase! This rug has a STUNNING color combination for those that love burgundy and green tones together. And it is a delight to walk on - - so soft on your feet. We will enjoy this in our family room for sure. ps. I also ordered the premium rug pad as well. Very happy with that too - adds stability and a tiny bit of padding.
