Product Details
Each rug has its own story and was created by master craftsmen using centuries old techniques that have been passed down through generations. No two pieces are exactly identical. While all of the rugs within a collection will feature the same colors and designs, the nature of handmade rugs is such that each piece can have subtle differences which make them, literally, “one of a kind.” This is a unique feature of handmade carpets. These differences range from slight color variations to subtle differences in design and “scale” of the rug. These differences can be due to the hand knotting and yarn dyeing processes. Larger pieces will have more detail in the designs and smaller pieces will have design adjustments so that the pattern is suitable for the size of the rug.
Features:
- 100% Combed Wool Pile
- Wool is naturally stain resistant and very durable
- Approximately 192 hand tied knots per square inch (over 25,000 per square foot)
- Soft underfoot
- Approximately .75 inches thick
- A finely woven 8x10 hand knotted rug would normally take two artisans 6-8 months to weave. Washing and finishing will take a few weeks after the weaving is complete. Smaller rugs take less time and larger rugs more time.
- Depending on the size of the rug, and for the protection of the rug, we may use a custom cardboard box for shipping. The rug will be folded into the box and when unfolded in your room, may show some creases. These will completely dissipate over a short time. The “weft” (foundation) of the rug is 100% cotton and will lie completely flat after the rug “relaxes.”
