Each rug in the collection is a modern abstract study in dimensional texture and high-energy explosions of color. Hand-knotted in a Tibetan knot weave, specific designs within the collection have been hand-carved to impart special high-low textural effects. Handcrafted of Silkette® viscose with cotton backing Item Weight (Lbs.): 179.0 Vacuum regularly; professional clean only Size is approximate; we recommend use of a rug pad (not included) Imported Please 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 30 business days.
