It is difficult to find a Dhurrie of this size and this is a very special piece with its attractive and modern look. A flat weave rug similar to a kilim hand woven in India, Dhurries have been made in India for over one hundred years and even now, have a contemporary feel and effect in a room. They can be used, in a wide variety of settings and are very flexible in room designs. The rug's pattern is stripes and main color is blue with whites.
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.
