Description
Sarouk Mir rugs are among the most popular with Persian rug enthusiasts due to their special designs, rich colors, durability and traditional workmanship. This particular rug was re-created by the village weavers in the Bhadohi region of India. The weavers obtain their dyes naturally from local vegetables, flowers, tree bark and minerals.
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.
