Is a hand-knotted silk and wool rug worth it?

Hand-knotted rugs last decades with care, so the cost per year can beat cheaper machine-made rugs. Silk adds sheen but needs gentle cleaning. Buy it if you want a long-term centerpiece, not a quick swap.

How big is this rug, and what room does it fit?

It measures 120 by 96 inches, or 10 by 8 feet. That fits under a dining table or anchors a living room seating group. It is too large for a small bedroom or entryway.

How do I clean a silk and wool rug?

Vacuum gently without a beater bar and blot spills right away. For deeper cleaning, use a professional rug cleaner rather than machine washing. Rotate it occasionally so it wears evenly.

Will a silk and wool rug shed?

New wool rugs shed loose fibers for the first few months, and silk blends shed less. Regular gentle vacuuming helps. Shedding usually settles with use.

When is the best time to buy this rug?

Rug prices often dip during seasonal sales and holiday promotions. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.

Our take on the Safavieh Couture Hand-Knotted

This is a 120 by 96 inch (10 by 8 foot) hand-knotted area rug from Safavieh's Couture line, made with silk and wool. Hand-knotting is the slowest, most durable rug construction, and a silk-wool blend gives a soft sheen and dense pile that suits both modern and traditional rooms. At this size it anchors a living room, dining table or master bedroom. No current price was supplied, so check the price history before buying.
