Turkish Hereke-Konya-Sivas Rugs
This lovely rug is lightly distressed / shabby chic with low pile that adds to the patina and beauty of this hand woven Turkish rug. colors: oatmeal/taupe. Sivas in eastern Anatolia is best known for interpretations in light tones of Persian, especially Tabriz, designs. The pile is usually low and the weaves are medium fine. They are decorative in the best sense, but are actually quite hard to find.
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.
