Tapestry
This 19th Century Aubusson tapestry depicts 2 youths in the foreground of a pleasant countryside setting. One sits on a wheelbarrow while the other appears to be pointing toward foliage as to suggest work to be done. A barrel is seen in the foreground suggesting it to be full of wine. In the background a thatched roof cottage rests next to a pond.
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.
