This funky rug is a special piece in our collection. It is a unique work of art was intricately made by hand. It got its special look by having undergone an elaborate finishing process that includes multiple steps. First restoration, followed by sun bleaching in order to make the original color fade, and a shortening of the 100% sheep wool pile. What is special about this rug, is that the pile was almost shaved down completely in some spots, keeping the original ornament long and making them pop out. It got re-colored in light blue hues afterwards, yet only the base adapted the new colors, leaving the wool pile in its original colors. This rug really stands out and almost serves as an artpiece that wants to be displayed. A truly wonderful and totally individual one-of-a-kind carpet.

Maintenance:
Regular vacuuming of the carpets prevents dust particles from sticking. Although beating the carpets is a little more time-consuming than vacuuming, it is worth it against more stubborn dirt. Due to the natural coloring of vintage carpets, sunlight can cause the colors to fade slightly, which gives the carpet character and life. If you do not want this, protect it from direct sunlight.
Cleaning:
If something should go wrong and a stain is visible, as a first aid, dab the stain carefully with an absorbent cloth and some warm water until it is no longer visible on the carpet. Are these stubborn carpet stains? In the following we will give you some simple household remedies that should be tried out before professional cleaning. DIY Tip: To make sure that the color does not peel off with the suggested methods, test it beforehand on an inconspicuous spot.
Salt: Spread it all over the carpet and vacuum it after a few hours.
Detergent: Dab the carpet stain with an absorbent cloth and warm water - if necessary mixed with detergent. Give the carpet some time to soak in before you try to rub the stain out.
Glass cleaner: Apply a dosed amount to the stain, let it work for a short time and then dab with water.Classic gall soap: Apply the moistened gall soap to the stain, leave to work for about 20-30 minutes and then remove with a moistened cloth.
