Named for the Clare — South Australia's most storied wine valley, where the landscape is organised into parallel rows of vine running across the contours of low hills, creating a pattern of subtle linear texture that is legible from a distance but only fully resolved up close. The Clare Line-Loom takes its character from that quality: a fine linear surface texture that reads as a tonal wash at room scale but reveals its detail underfoot, power-loomed in Turkey with a 12mm polyester pile.
A warm burnt rust ground — earthy and characterful, with the linear texture adding a subtle woven quality to what reads from a distance as a solid colour. Brings warmth and personality to living spaces without the complexity of a patterned rug. Pairs with rattan, timber and natural linen, and suits boho, earthy-modern and heritage-influenced interiors.
Power-loomed in Turkey from a polyester pile construction with a 12mm pile height — a depth that delivers genuine softness underfoot while maintaining the pattern clarity that power-loomed construction does particularly well. Turkey remains one of the world's leading centres of quality rug production, with a long manufacturing tradition that shows in the consistency of the weave and the fidelity of the sculpted surface detail.
Runner sizes are available in this colourway — select Runner from the Shape option above.
Available Colourways:
- Rust (This Colourway): Warm burnt rust — an earthy, characterful tone that adds warmth and depth to the linear texture.
- Gold: Warm golden — a sun-warmed tonal wash that adds quiet warmth and refinement to the space.
- Mocha: Deep mocha-brown — a rich, grounded tone that anchors a room with understated sophistication.
Style & Service Guide
Why we love it: The Clare Line-Loom in Rust combines earthy warmth with the quiet sophistication of a textured surface. The linear detail elevates what could be a plain coloured rug into something with genuine character — a subtlety that rewards close inspection. An excellent choice for living rooms and bedrooms in earthy, boho or natural-material-led interiors.

Shipping & Returns: The "Fair Go" Guide
At Rug Emporium, we believe in keeping things simple and honest. We’re a small Australian team, not a giant corporation, which means we care deeply about getting the right rug into your home.
Because we want you to feel 100% confident before you click "buy," we’ve laid out exactly how our shipping and returns work. No fine print—just the facts.
Shipping Your New Rug
How much does delivery cost?
Nothing. We offer Free Shipping Australia-wide. To make things easy, we build the shipping cost into our prices so the number you see on the product page is the final price you pay at checkout.
How long until my rug is sent?
We aren’t a giant automated warehouse; we’re a small, dedicated team. Please allow 3–5 business days for us to hand-pick, quality-check, and pack your rug securely before it leaves our Sydney warehouse.
When will it arrive at my door?
Once your rug is with our courier partners (usually Hunter Express, Couriers Please, or Aramex), most orders arrive within 7–14 days.
-
Metro areas: Usually on the quicker side of that window.
-
Regional & Remote areas: These can take a little longer, but we’ll get it to you!
Can I track my order?
Absolutely. The moment your rug leaves our warehouse, we will email you a tracking number so you can follow its journey across the country.
Do you deliver to PO Boxes?
Unfortunately, no. Because rugs are bulky and heavy, our couriers require a physical street address. We cannot deliver to PO Boxes or Parcel Lockers.
Our "Fair Go" Return Policy
We want you to love your rug. But we also know that sometimes, once it’s in the room, the vibe just isn't right. Here is how we handle returns fairly:
What if I change my mind?
If you decide the rug isn’t for you, we accept returns within 14 days of delivery.
-
The Cost: As a small family business, we cover the cost of getting the rug to you. If you choose to return it, we simply ask that you cover the courier cost to get it back to our warehouse.
-
The "Why": Handling returns this way allows us to keep our initial prices fair and accessible for everyone, rather than inflating prices to cover "free" return shipping.
How to avoid a return fee (Try this first!)
The best way to avoid return shipping costs is to be sure before you buy! We offer a Free Virtual Styling Service.
How it works: Send us a photo of your room, and our stylists will Photoshop your chosen rug into the space. It’s the best way to see exactly how the colours and scale work in your actual home—completely free!
What condition does the rug need to be in?
To receive a refund, the rug must be unused and in its original packaging. Think of it this way: it needs to be in a condition that you’d be happy to receive yourself!
What if the rug arrives damaged?
If your rug shows up with a defect or was damaged in transit, we will fix it immediately. Please take photos of the damage and contact us right away. We will organise a replacement at zero cost to you.
Cancellations
-
Before Dispatch: If you change your mind quickly and we haven't sent the rug yet, we will give you a full refund immediately.
-
After Dispatch: If the rug is already with the courier, it is treated as a "Change of Mind" return. You will need to cover the shipping costs to have the rug returned to us.
