Description

This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Kerman produces highly distinctive carpets primarily in highly floral medallion or all over designs. During the 16th and 17th century these rugs were made by village weavers for the royal family commissioned by the king and this is why they are called the ‘Royal Kermans’. The rug is 100 percent wool. The knot count is 200. The pile height is 0.25 inches . Colors include red navy ivory green gold blue salmon and beige.Story Behind the Art:This particular rug was made by village weavers in Kerman which is a well known rug weaving province in Iran. The process of rug making includes cleaning washing and dyeing the wool and then weaving the rug with vegetable-dyed wool. 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 India and Iran. 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.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.Imported
