Sari silk rugs are created by Artisans utilizing silk that once graced vintage saris. By carefully unthreading the saris by hand and fortifying the extracted silk with cotton, or other fibers, the fibers are then artistically woven into unique patterns and colors. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of art for your floor. Each hand-crafted sari silk flat we've is bonded to a heavy canvas backing, giving strength and durability to the rug and eliminating the need for a rug pad. The aqua sari silk has an array of vibrant blues, with brown and gold accents. Because of the unique hand-crafted nature of each piece, no two sari silk rugs are alike. These natural rugs are durable and will hold up for decades if you take care of them properly. Don't place your sari silk rug in a place that receives heavy traffic, Sari Silk rugs require gentle vacuuming with suction only, although you can have them hand-washed by a professional cleaner as needed.
