Handmade PLS Rug 101 x 62 cm - Pakistan
PLS rug, 101 × 62 cm, hand-knotted in natural wool and viscose: a grey and pink oval medallion holds the centre of an ivory field scattered with palmettes, botehs and flowering scrollwork in brick orange and grey-blue; grey border with flowers and dark cartouches, white fringes.
It suits a quiet corner as much as a spot where people pass by: in front of a fireplace, beside the bed on the side you get up from, or near the door. Its wool stands up to daily life, and its viscose touches stay at their best where the traffic is gentle.

Caring for your rug
This rug contains viscose. The advice below applies, but always gently: dab, never rub, and use very little water.
1Turn it every six months
- Even wear: walkways do not wear out too soon.
- Colour protection: limits UV fading and the oxidation of natural dyes.
- Longevity: a handmade rug that is turned regularly lasts 50 to 100 years without losing its beauty.
2Removing a stain with Marseille soap
No chemicals, in three steps.
- Absorb the excess. For a liquid, gently scrape with a spoon, without rubbing or spreading the stain.
- Apply the soap. Dip a bar of Marseille soap in lukewarm water, dab the stain and leave it for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water, then raise the rug on a chair so it dries in the open air. A fan speeds things up; never direct sunlight.
Never use: abrasive sponges or hard brushes, bleach or ammonia. They destroy the fibres and the dyes.
3Drying, the key against mould and moths
A rug that is not dried properly develops a musty smell, white mineral stains and distortions, and attracts dust mites and moths.
- Dry it flat or raised, never folded.
- Air both sides of the rug.
- Leave no moisture behind; use a dryer or a fan if needed.

A handmade rug never dies
No need to worry with a handmade piece: everything can be repaired. A knot can be retied, a fringe rewoven, a border restored. A rug can even be brought back to life ten, thirty or fifty years after it was bought.
With simple care, this one will last for years and be passed on.
For anything beyond everyday care (deep cleaning, repair, restoration), we will be there, even years after your purchase. +33 9 83 89 37 22 or write to us.
Prevents the rug from slipping, protects hardwood floors, and can be cut to size.
The PLS rug
PLS signifie Pakistan Laine et Soie : nos tapis PLS sont noués à la main au Pakistan, en laine naturelle et viscose, une fibre qui donne des reflets au dessin. Ils se reconnaissent à leur dessin floral et courbe, rinceaux et palmettes autour d'un médaillon central le plus souvent, et à une palette claire où le beige et le rose dominent.
