Messner Carpet offers a Karastan ''Athena'' Carpet Size 5' x 9'. It is from Karastan's Shapura Collection. Inspired by the unique color effects of hand-knotted 'Peshawar' looks, rugs from the Shapura collection feature liveable, relaxed palettes geared toward today's interiors. The meticulously placed nuances of color creat a stunning visual texture. Every Karastan rug is made of the finest natural and man-made fibers available. We recommend that you put a pad underneath your rug. This will keep the rug from sliding around, which can cause premature wear, and will help retain its original appearance longer. Second, it is recommended that you rotate your rug periodically. As time passes set traffic or sunlight patterns can cause fading or uneven wear on a rug that isn't occasionally rotated. A pamphlet is included labeled ''
Caring for your Karastan Rug''.
