This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. The Herati design originated in Herat, Afghanistan and has been replicated by weavers in India and Iran. The design of this rug originated from the province of Herat in Afghanistan, however this rug was re-created in the Varanasi region of India, by Bhadohi village weavers. Natural vegetable dyes are used to give the rugs their rich colors.

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.

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.
