Over a century of skill and craftsmanship is woven into every rug produced by the world-renowned Louis De Poortere. A subtle mix of Eastern influences with a Western twist. Woven on jacquard looms with cotton chenille yarns, each rug has multiple layers of texture, distressed areas, and intricate stitching detail to give a truly vintage look. Its timeless appeal suits every type of decorative style, whether modern or classical.

Louis De Poortere rugs are woven in a fashionable flat weave construction and hand finished with reinforced corners and an anti-slip layer for a secure fit.

Composition:  85% cotton / 15% polyester.

Care instructions:  Clean spills immediately by blotting the liquid with an undyed cloth. Press firmly to absorb as much as possible. Hand brush or light vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling on the base.

Please note:  Exposure to direct sunlight may result in colour fading. Rugs placed in daylight areas must be turned often.
