Samarkand - Khotan Rugs
This antique Khotan rug from China portrays three central medallions each containing floral patterns of various sizes. Surrounding the medallions are gracefully designed organic shapes and four geometric cornerpieces that populate the tan central field. A strong border containing three rows of symmetrical symbols in tan and dark chocolate solidifies the 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.
