Features: One-of-a-kind patchwork design Handcrafted using remnants of antique hand-knotted wool rugs 250 knot count per square inch 100 percent wool with vegetable dyes Pile height of 0.5 inches Story Behind the Art: The remnants used to create this rug come from torn or damaged pieces of Persian Antique rugs that could no longer be used as one whole rug. They are put together as a patchwork rug to preserve the good parts of these rugs. These remnants come from the rug weaving villages of Iran but are made by village weavers in Lahore, Pakistan. Inconsistencies in the rug and its design are the nature of this textile. The size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches due to the handmade nature of the rugs. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. As the business grows, more jobs are created 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. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen due to the handcrafted nature of the rug. Imported from Pakistan.
