Description
This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. As a weaving center, Nain dates back to the 1920s. Nain rugs are known for having a primarily blue and white traditional floral pattern and almost always have a touch of silk in the design. The knot count for this rug is 200. This rug is mostly wool with silk accents in the flowers, and is made with all vegetable dyes. The pile height is 0.5 inches . Colors include red, ivory, gray, blue, beige, and tan. Story Behind the Art: This rug was made by weavers in the villages of Nain, which is in the province of Isfahan. The entire process of shearing, washing, dyeing and weaving of the rugs is done by village weavers. 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 for over 10 years. We have been given 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, 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. 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.
