Description
Moud is an area in the province of Khorasan, located in Northeastern Iran. Most of the patterns are similar to the fish patterns of Tabriz and Herati. The village weavers of Moud, located in the Khorasan province, produce their own wool as well as their dyes for the creation of the rug, which is all done in the villages.
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 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.
