The Gouws Black and White: A Premium Hand-Woven Rug
The Gouws Black and White is a hand-woven rug from Mae Artisan Rugs. Part of our
Contemporary Collection, this flat-weave rug is woven in India from 80% wool and 20% cotton. The pattern in black, grey, and white creates a bold, graphic design with high visual contrast.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted with 80% wool and 20% cotton, the Gouws Black and White is built for everyday life. The wool provides natural warmth and durability, while the cotton core keeps the flat-weave structure stable. Our yarns are batch-dyed by hand, which means each rug develops subtle, organic colour variations known as abrash. No two Gouws Black and White rugs are identical.
Styling Your Gouws Black and White Rug
The bold monochrome palette of the Gouws Black and White makes it a striking choice for modern, industrial, and contemporary interiors. The graphic pattern adds definition and structure to open-plan spaces, living rooms, and hallways. It works particularly well in rooms with white walls and dark furniture.
Care and Longevity
Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting without a beater bar. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Since this is a handmade item using natural fibres, professional cleaning is recommended every 12 to 18 months. Rotating the rug every six months ensures even wear.
