The Versailles: A Premium Hand-Knotted Silk Rug
The Versailles is a hand-knotted rug from Mae Artisan Rugs. Part of our
Contemporary Collection, this rug is hand-knotted in India from 60% Tibetan Highland wool and 40% pure silk at 80 knots per square inch. The design in beige brings a regal, refined quality with the luminous sheen of pure silk.
Artisanal Quality and Materials
Crafted with 60% Tibetan Highland wool and 40% pure silk at 80 knots per square inch, the Versailles represents some of the finest rug construction available. Tibetan Highland wool provides a strong, warm foundation, while the pure silk fibres add a luminous sheen and exceptional softness. At 80 knots per square inch, the hand-knotted construction creates an incredibly dense, detailed pile.
Styling Your Versailles Rug
The warm beige palette and silk sheen of the Versailles make it a luxurious choice for contemporary, classical, and transitional interiors. The subtle silk highlights catch light throughout the day, adding depth and movement. It works well in formal living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where elegance is paramount.
Care and Longevity
Vacuum regularly on a low-suction setting. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can damage the silk fibres. Professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months by a specialist experienced with silk rugs is recommended. Avoid direct, prolonged sunlight exposure to protect the silk fibres. With proper care, this rug can last for generations.
