Description
This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. These chenille dhurrie rugs were hand-woven by the village weavers in Bhadohi, India. This complex rug is created by tightly weaving super soft chenille fibers into a versatile flat weave. Artisans weave chenille yarn through a cotton warp to create a tighter weave to ensure that each rug will lay flat and wear well. This flat-weave area rug is finished with soft white cotton fringe and is completely reversible.
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.
