Description

This kilim is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Kilims are known as pile-less flat-weave floor coverings; the design is also known as slit-weave. The knot count for this kilim is 160. This kilim is woven in shades of ivory blue black red green pink grey purple and yellow.Story Behind the Art:This particular kilim was made in the Varanasi region of India by the Bhadohi village weavers. These beautiful designs are achieved by interweaving the various colors of the vertical and horizontal strands of the kilim. It can be used as a hanging piece or as a floor covering. Due to the handmade nature of our kilims the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your kilim looking new for years to come. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan Pakistan 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 wool sales 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
