The Venice: A Premium Hand-Woven Printed Kelim
The Venice is a hand-woven printed kelim from Mae Artisan Rugs. Part of our
Kelim Collection, this flat-weave rug is woven in India from 80% wool and 20% cotton, then printed with a design in beige and brown. The printing process adds an additional layer of pattern on top of the woven structure, creating a unique visual effect that combines the texture of a kelim with the detail of a printed design.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted with 80% wool and 20% cotton, the Venice is built for everyday life. The wool provides natural warmth and durability, while the cotton core keeps the flat-weave structure stable. The printed design is applied after weaving, giving the Venice a level of pattern detail that is difficult to achieve through weaving alone. No two printed kelims are perfectly identical, adding to their handmade character.
Styling Your Venice Kelim
The Venice's printed design in beige and brown gives it a vintage, Old World feel that works well in traditional, eclectic, and contemporary-classic interiors. The printed pattern adds visual richness without the bulk of a pile rug. It is well suited to living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a decorative, characterful rug can take centre stage.
Care and Longevity
Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting without a beater bar to protect the printed surface. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the printed colours from fading over time. Professional cleaning is recommended every 12 to 18 months. Learn more about
