Description
These Indo Persian design rugs are truly beautiful high quality pieces that have been known to last just as long as the Persian rugs. This rug was made by village weavers in the Kashmir area of India, woven in traditional Persian designs. The designs were brought to India centuries ago, where they have been refined into their own Persian-influenced weaving traditions unique to the area.
Herat Oriental works with over 2,000 village weavers to create beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Persia and India. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
