The African Stripe: A Premium Hand-Knotted Rug
The African Stripe is a hand-knotted rug from Mae Artisan Rugs. Part of our
Contemporary Collection, this rug is hand-knotted in India from 100% New Zealand wool at 80 knots per square inch. The stripe pattern in beige, brown, and red brings a warm, globally-inspired quality to contemporary interiors.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted entirely from 100% New Zealand wool at 80 knots per square inch, the African Stripe represents the highest quality in rug construction. New Zealand wool is prized for its whiteness, strength, and ability to hold rich, vibrant dyes. The hand-knotted construction creates a dense, durable pile that will last for decades. Each knot is tied individually by skilled artisans.
Styling Your African Stripe Rug
The warm earthy palette and bold stripe pattern of the African Stripe make it a versatile choice for traditional, eclectic, and contemporary interiors. The beige, brown, and red tones bring warmth and global character to living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways. It pairs naturally with natural wood, leather, and handcrafted decor.
Care and Longevity
Vacuum regularly on a medium-suction setting. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. Professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months is recommended. Rotating the rug every six months ensures even wear. With proper care, a hand-knotted New Zealand wool rug at 80 knots per square inch can last for generations.
