Handmade PLS Rug 97 x 61 cm - Pakistan
Flowering stems and palmettes cover the ivory field of this PLS measuring 97 × 61 cm, hand-knotted in natural wool and viscose; at the centre, a light grey and yellow diamond medallion outlined in red, dark red spandrels and a light grey border between golden-yellow guard borders.
Near the door, it welcomes the first steps: shoes come off on the wool rather than on the tiles, and the grey and yellow medallion gives the hallway its fixed point. A bedside runner or the floor in front of a fireplace also suit it. Sturdy enough for a living room, it keeps its viscose sheen.

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.
