Meshad Rugs
The buff field displays a focused pattern of a multitude of various palmettes, rosettes, flowering vines, botehs and floating leaves. Light blue cartouches delineate the four field corners. The pattern radiates from a small central rosette giving the impression of an allover design, although the individual elements defer to and are not cut by the border frame. The midnight blue border, with panels of lighter blue abrash continues the general style with more botehs and palmettes. The buff background gives the carpet a lightness and airiness prized by contemporary decorators. Although the field is well filled, there is no sense of busyness or over elaboration. The pattern moves and flows easily, the elements gently jostling. This carpet is truly versatile with a universe of contexts, modern and contemporary, or period and formal, or an eclectic mixture of the two or off on a unique taste tangent.
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.
