Taos Hand Knotted Rug

Adapted from Navajo trading blankets in Ralph Lauren's private collection. A modern expression of ethnic rugs combining two ancient knotting techniques: soumak flat loop weave and wool pile weave in one original design. Hand-knotted in Pakistan of high-quality Persian wool. Vegetable dyes are used to enhance the natural rustic look of the wool.Handcrafted of woolItem Weight (Lbs.): 89.0Vacuum regularly; professional clean onlySize is approximate; we recommend use of a rug pad (not included)ImportedPlease note: Rugs (especially wool rugs) are prone to a natural shedding process. With regular vacuuming, the shedding will decrease over time. Hand-knotted rugs tend to shed less than hand-tufted rugs, and flatweave rugs will shed less than those with a deeper pile, but all rugs will shed more in high-traffic areas than they do in lower-traffic spaces.Unfortunately, we cannot provide rug swatches at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.We recommend using a rug pad with every indoor rug to prolong its beauty by minimizing everyday wear and tear and providing a little breathing space to help prevent fiber damage. A pad also helps stabilize the rug, reducing slippage on hard floors.Shipping Direct from Vendor, usually ships within 185 business days.
