The Protea Jute: A Premium Hand-Knotted Jute Rug
The Protea Jute is a hand-knotted rug from Mae Artisan Rugs. Part of our
Contemporary Collection, this rug is hand-knotted in India from 100% jute at 60 knots per square inch. The pattern in purple, red, and yellow brings a warm, South African-inspired quality with the natural texture of jute.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted entirely from 100% jute at 60 knots per square inch, the Protea Jute combines the earthy, organic texture of natural jute with the density and durability of hand-knotted construction. Jute is a fast-growing, sustainable plant fibre with a naturally coarse, textured feel. Each knot is tied individually by skilled artisans.
Styling Your Protea Jute Rug
The warm purple, red, and yellow palette of the Protea Jute makes it a distinctive choice for eclectic, bohemian, and globally-inspired interiors. Named after South Africa's iconic protea flower, it brings warmth and character to living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas. It pairs well with natural wood, leather, and handcrafted decor.
Care and Longevity
Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Jute is sensitive to moisture, so avoid placing in damp areas or using excessive water when cleaning. Professional cleaning is recommended. Rotating every six months ensures even wear.
