Samarkand - Khotan Rugs
This antique Khotan rug from China features two columns of organic designs woven in dark auburn that cover the brick red field. A border of diagonal lines and curvilinear symbols unifies the complete design.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
