Story Behind the Art: The Mahal design rug has its origin in Iran but this particular rug was re-created by weavers from Bhadohi village in Varanasi region of India. The process used to make this rug is hand-tufting, where yarn is inserted into the rug backing with a handheld tufting gun to push and pull the threads through a pre-woven grid foundation. Natural vegetable dyes are used to give the rugs their rich colors. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Rug weaving provides opportunities for these women to earn a livelihood and support their families. The community also benefits as local farmers sell wool and 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.
