Description

Tabriz rugs are among the most beautiful and legendary carpets ever built. Many rugs produced in the city of Tabriz are attempting to follow the incredible artistry of the Persian Safavid rugs. Tabriz managed to keep these ancient traditions alive in the city and the villages surrounding it in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran. The Tabriz design of this rug was copied and re-created in the Jodhpur region of India, by Jaipur village weavers following traditional methods of weaving. The process of making a rug includes cleaning, washing and dyeing the wool which is sourced from local sheep.

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.
