Fine silk rugs are among the most detailed rugs made. Silk allows a much higher knot count than wool, so curves, flowers and borders can be drawn with real precision – and the fibre gives them a natural glow.
- The sheen changes as you walk around the rug – from one end it looks bright, from the other deeper and richer
- Silk is softer and more delicate than wool, so these rugs suit quieter rooms
- Photos can't fully show how the colour shifts in daylight – ask us for a video
- Keep out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colours
- Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth – avoid water and never rub
- Vacuum gently without the rotating brush, or just shake and sweep
- Professional cleaning only – never wash at home
- Free UK delivery on all orders
- White-glove delivery to your room available
- Return within 14 days — no questions asked
- International delivery available on request
- Keep out of strong direct sunlight to protect the colours
