Karimi Oriental Rugs

If your rug is showing any folds or creases from storage or transportation, know that these will, with time, disappear or "absorb" into the floor piece with normal walking traffic and use.
Every hand woven, woolen Oriental rug has a "light" side and a "dark" side. This has to do with the way that each piece is woven on its loom as well as the lanolin content in the wool. Position your rug in such a way that the most pleasant side, from your point of view, is placed to take advantage of the light sources and in consideration of the angles that the rug will be viewed.
Wherever possible, the careful use of coasters under furnishings will spread the weight out and make less of an impression on the pile of the rug.
Karimi Oriental Rugs offers several different under-paddings for your rugs. These are effective in not only keeping the rugs where you want them--preventing them from moving about from foot traffic--but the padding also allows your treasure to breathe which extends the life of the rug as well as making the piece more comfortable upon which to walk and stand.
A word about abrash: abrash is the slight variations that are inevitable (particularly in large pieces) that come about when hand woven pieces have been produced, using variable natural dyes and different lots of wool. Abrash will rarely distract from the rugs spectacular beauty and often gives each piece a unique patina lending to the value of the carpet.
