Herat Oriental Hand-knotted Tribal Hamadan Wool Rug
Description
This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. In the Hamadan area, there are 1,500 villages that specialize in their own designs creating over 3,000 variations. Although each village or group of villages has its own distinctive designs, they all have certain characteristics in common. The knot count for this rug is 180 per square inch. This rug is made of 100-percent wool. The pile height is 0.25 inches. Colors are in shades of red, navy, orange, ivory and brown. Story Behind the Art: This particular rug was made by village weavers in the region of Hamadan. 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. Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. Worldstock has given us the opportunity to create jobs for over 2,000 local village weavers, which helps them to greatly support their families. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. As we grow with Worldstock, 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 raising sheep for wool, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
