Description
Lilihan rugs are produced south of the city of Arak in the Lilihan village. Lilihan rugs typically are known for their lattice design with either a traditional floral or geometric motif. You will often find these rugs made with a single wefted weave and a longer pile. This particular rug was made by weavers in the village of Lilihan.
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.
