This is an INCREDIBLE rug. We used in a British colonial style dining room under a 10’ antique walnut dining table. Just such a great rug to set off antiques. The client has pets and has had it washed professionally and still loves it. I actually am purchasing one for my own use. I do recommend a high quality rug pad for whatever surface it is to go on - find a layering rug pad if putting on carpet or it shifts.
