Herat Oriental Handmade One-of-a-Kind Nain Wool and Silk Rug
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. At first, it was one of the areas that produced Isfahan carpets. Then beginning in the 1930s, it developed its own identity for very fine precise workshop carpets on a cotton foundation. Nain is a city in Iran in between Isfahan and Yezd. The knot count for this rug is 200. This rug is 100-percent hand-spun wool, and is made with all vegetable dyes. The pile height is 0.5 inches . Colors include red, ivory, blue, and navy. Story Behind the Art: 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. 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.
