The weave and design of this rug is similar to Mashad rugs. The design of this particular rug was re-created in the Varanasi region of India by the rug-weaving villagers. Kashmar rugs are easily distinguishable because of their unique patterns and the use of animals and people in the design. This rug is 100-percent wool pile, with cotton foundation. The pile height is 0. 5 inches. 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.
