Features: One-of-a-kind design Knot count of 150 per square inch Pile height of 0.25 inches Made of 100-percent wool Combination of ivory, red, blue, and salmon Story Behind the Art: This particular rug was made in the 1960s by village weavers in Bakhtiari, using a traditional process that includes cleaning, washing, and dyeing the wool with natural and vegetable dyes. The luxurious wool of the region and the expert craftsmanship of the rug weavers have made these rugs famous throughout the world. Today, nearly 200 villages in the Char Mahal area have village weavers producing unique designs. The majority of these weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, 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 raising sheep for wool, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Care Instructions: 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 handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size, and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen. Origin Information: Imported from Iran.
