The Chess Board: A Premium Hand-Knotted Rug
The Chess Board 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 checkerboard pattern in beige and biscuit brings a clean, structured geometric quality to contemporary interiors.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted entirely from 100% New Zealand wool at 80 knots per square inch, the Chess Board represents the highest quality in rug construction. New Zealand wool is prized for its strength, natural resilience, and ability to hold rich, vibrant dyes. The hand-knotted construction creates a dense, durable pile where each knot is tied individually by skilled artisans.
Styling Your Chess Board Rug
The classic checkerboard pattern of the Chess Board makes it a timeless choice for contemporary, minimalist, and eclectic interiors. The warm beige and biscuit tones keep the geometric pattern grounded and versatile. It works well in living rooms, dining rooms, and studies, pairing naturally with both modern and traditional furniture.
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.
