Samarkand - Khotan Rugs
Antique Khotan/Samarkand rug from East Turkestan circa 1900. With a natural abrash which is a natural change in color that occurs when different dyes are used and gives uniqueness an extra beauty to the rug. The rug is in very good condition with a low pile that adds the patina so special in antique & vintage rugs.
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.
