Description

Khal Mohammadi rugs are characterized by their usually coppery-colored fields and highly lustrous finish, as well as neat and tidy appearance. Khal Mohammadi rugs are named after Mr. Khal Mohammed, who was the originator of the dyes made to create the beautiful coppery colors used in these rugs. These rugs are made in the Northern part of Afghanistan by the Turkoman weavers, mostly made by Khal Mohammed family and the village weavers.

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.
