Charleston Hand Knotted Silk Rug

Hand-knotted rugs are globally renowned for their intricate craftsmanship. Each rug is laboriously created by hand-tying every knot on a vertical frame loom, with the yarns knotted onto the warp threads that are stretched taut. The creation of a single carpet can span an impressive 2-3 months, a testament to the patience and skill required in this traditional technique. The journey from start to finish involves multiple phases of washing, shearing, and detailed finishing, with each rug passing through the hands of over a hundred artisans. The result is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, imbued with unmatched quality and individuality.

Care Instruction:

• Avoid brushing or scrubbing to maintain the rug’s quality.
• Regularly vacuum without using the beater brush to keep it clean.
• If a spill occurs, blot it immediately; do not rub the area.
• Rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear.
• Use furniture protectors under heavy pieces to prevent pile distortion.
• Should any threads become loose, trim them with scissors rather than pulling.
• Avoid placing rugs in prolonged direct sunlight as this can cause fading.
• Lastly, professional cleaning from time to time is advisable for lasting beauty.
