Description
The remarkable patchwork rug is a one of a kind rug that was crafted using remnants of antique hand-knotted wool rugs. The remnants can come from torn or damaged pieces of Persian antique rugs that could no longer be used as one whole rug, so they are put together as a patchwork rug to preserve the good parts of these rugs.
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.
