This contemporary carpet has dramatic elements of abstraction of a traditional design ignited with areas of gold/yellow white art viscose silk with reflective properties and fluidity of design. Indigo, black, mauve, light and mid blues are found in wool pile with exciting contrasts of light and dark tonalities. This piece is artistically electrifying.

What are the Artistic Features of this Modern Carpet?

This carpet is an astounding creation of artistry and modern carpet weaving design. It is an exciting example of how traditional design and formats can be abstracted into forming new ideas and concepts. Here you can discover vestiges of a traditional classic format with borders and floral curvilinear motifs but fragmented and broken up with great gestures and splashes of streaks of colours and areas of art silk. There is a superb interplay of light and dark like artistic 'chiaroscuro' which creates a sensation of layering, drama and depth. The clever abstraction is mesmersing and dynamic.

How is the Effect of Colour and Contrast achieved in this Carpet?

This carpet is a true expression or artistic as well as structural calibre and would make an excellent focalpoin to a room with style! There is a strong use of colour contrast, colour tone, as well as reflective qualities; owing to the use of wool as well as art silk in the pile itself. Wool and silk absorb light differently and silk is more reflective. Tones range from dark midnight black to the lightest of creamy-white golds. The wool pile and silk highlights are dyed by artisan dyes which allow this dramatic expression. Find the colours ranging from black to indigo, mauve, sky and sea blues to gold yellow and white. 

What Mood would this Carpet instill?

This piece would create a feeling of energy, life, movement and artistic modernism to a scheme. It is certainly a focal point as a dramatic abstract art statement on the floor. The varied colours merge and are abundant. There is sense of depth, drama, beauty and richness of hue.

How this Carpet Made?

Frequently asked questions about Pakistan rugs

Oriental rugs are renowned for their longevity and can often last for generations. 

I’d like to buy it, is the rug shown the rug I’ll get?

Yes, all of our rugs are handmade and the vast majority are one-of-a-kind. This is the exact rug you will receive. No substitutions.

I’m interested in this rug, but would like to see it before I decide – can I come and see it at your shop?

Of course! All of the rugs displayed and shown as in stock on our website are available to view and buy in-store.

How quickly will I receive my rug and how much does delivery cost?

We aim to dispatch our Rugs as quickly as possible. Deliveries in the UK are generally achieved in 2-3 working days. Within the UK there is no carriage charge for rugs.

I’m not located in the UK, will you send it to destinations outside of the UK?

Please contact us, referencing which rug you would like to buy and your delivery address to find out shipping costs.

How long will my rug last?

Hand-knotted Rugs and Handwoven Rugs are extremely long-lasting items. If properly looked after Oriental Rugs can outlive their owner and maybe even last for generations. In many cases rugs improve with age.

Will the colours of my rug fade?

Handmade Oriental rugs will soften in colour over time. Of course, like any textile, if the rug is used in an area of strong sunlight, such as in a Conservatory for instance, the fading process will be more rapid. During days of strong sunshine, it is good practice to draw the curtains or blinds to keep your Oriental rug looking at its best.

Will the colours transfer onto the flooring underneath?

This is a tricky one to answer! If only we had a crystal ball! There is a risk. Our rugs are all handmade and made with artisan dyes. All of our rugs are thoroughly washed prior to export and any excess dye should come out in the washing process. However, on the odd occasion, the dye can still sometimes transfer. This phenomenon is increased by humidity and temperature, and is regrettably irreversible. If you are concerned about this possibility, perhaps consider using an Underlay to put a barrier between the rug and the flooring/fitted carpet underneath.

How do I care for my Pakistan Rug

They are easy to care for, but here’s a few helpful pointers to keep your new Caucasian rug looking great:

Vacuum

Hoover it regularly – perhaps once a week. This is good practice as tiny dirt particles can cause premature wear. Vacuum it with just the nozzle suction, as rotating brushes can be abrasive. Try to keep the vacuum cleaner away from the fringes as this is probably the weakest point on an Oriental rug; fringes and vacuum cleaners don’t mix!

Rotate 

It is a good idea to rotate your Afghan rug on occasion. This will help prevent areas of concentrated wear. Foot shuffling when watching the TV is a prime culprit! Rotating your rug will also help to even-out any incremental changes in colour from exposure to sunlight.

Blot

Any spills should be blotted immediately: blot with kitchen towel or clean un-dyed absorbent cloth; avoid rubbing or scrubbing which can spread the spill or push the spill deeper into the rug.

Use a Rug Underlay

A good rug underlay will keep the rug in place, thereby preventing uneven wear and will help the rug keep from going out of shape.

Professional Cleaning

This is something that is required infrequently, perhaps every 3-5 years depending on use. Please contact us if you would like to have your rug cleaned as we offer a Rug Cleaning Service.
