SCARLET TWIL

Overview

SCARLET TWIL By BAXTER

Designer: Draga & Aurel

Type: Rug

SCARLET TWIL is a carpet designed by Draga&Aurel.‎ Completely hand-knotted rug, carried out with one of the finest wools in the world, hand-dyed with the so-called “pot-dyeing” technique; it deals with an art that carries on a age-long tradition.‎ Since the execution of the drawing is difficult, the weavers have to use “talim”, a sort of intoned code, where any given note coincides with a knot and prevents any possible interpretation mistake on the loom.‎ The finishing process is very elaborate: after the first shave and the handwash, every single rug is handled in order to create a unique product: a skilled craftsman works on the surface with scissors, wearing out on purpose some sections of the rug, according to an expert’s instructions.‎ The side borders are carried out with the specific style of an age-old rug and selvedges are woven creating a “vintage” effect.‎ For the routine maintenance of the carpets, we suggest to vacuum them, in order to remove dust and other residues.‎ It might happen that, during a first period, some fibres come off from the carpet.‎ This is absolutely normal.‎ The wool and/or silk carpets always have some excess fibres, which disappear gradually with the normal use.‎ In order to get a uniform exposure to light and to trampling, we suggest to rotate the carpet regularly.‎ We also recommend removing stains immediately.‎ Proceed with caution in order not to damage the fibres.‎ To remove stains, soak up first of all with blotting paper.‎ Then immerse a cloth or a sponge in lukewarm water.‎ Dampen the stain without rubbing and soak up, repeating these actions until you have completely removed the stain.‎ For difficult stains, we recommend promptly contacting specialist dry-cleaner’s shops.‎ For the washing, we recommend contacting specialist dry-cleaner’s shops.‎
