Tabriz Rugs
This is a classic silk Tabriz from the most desirable period of Tabriz weaving. Silk rugs are the most luxurious woven pieces. In the finest rugs, the foundation as well as the pile are made of silk. Silk rugs are magnificent with a fine texture and the quality of their colors. Silk allows the dyes to attain a richness and concentration that cannot be matched by wool. The weaving skill and patience needed to create these works of art has been truly rewarded in the creation of the piece.
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.
