Handmade PLS Rug 95 x 62 cm - Pakistan
A grey and pink star medallion at the centre of an ivory field strewn with flowers and palmettes: this PLS, 95 × 62 cm, is hand-knotted in natural wool and viscose, with a grey border of flowering scrollwork.
Its tones suit a pale wooden floor that extends the ivory of the field, white or soft grey walls against which the brick red of the border stands out, and a grey throw that echoes the medallion. It works at the foot of a bed, in an entrance hall or in front of a fireplace. The wool gives it body and the viscose its sheen: it withstands regular traffic without losing its light.

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.
