Materials & Craftsmanship - 90% Pure Wool & 10% Pure Silk
This diligently hand-knotted area rug contains a blend of 90% pure wool and 10% pure silk. Both piles are natural materials that are hygienic and non-allergenic, representing the healthier choice compared to synthetic fiber rugs. Their natural piles deter the growth of bacteria and dust mites. The rug feels soft under the foot while remaining wear-resistant and long-lasting. With proper maintenance tailored to its needs, this rug can last over 75 years. Its detailing contains silk highlights that are primarily located in the lighter colored sections of its curvilinear patterns (floral designs with curved outlines, tendrils and sprays, sometimes detached, but often connected to one another). The added silk provides sheen, depth and a little taste of luxury. A rug with both wool and silk materials are a great option for adding the look and feel of luxury to your spaces.
The dyes used to produce this carpet are eco-friendly vegetable dyes that enrich the yarn with a natural and vibrant luster. Vegetable dyes are also referred to as natural dyes and are superior to "synthetic" dyes, therefore, this rug is a more valuable carpet than a rug woven with synthetic colors. As a result of utilizing quality materials and highly skilled craftsmanship, it can last generations and adds warmth and elegance to almost any space.
