Herat Oriental Hand Tufted Wool Brown/Beige Area Rug

This rug was created in the Varanasi region of India, by the weavers in the Bhadohi village. The inspiration for this Persian rug design originated in Mahal, which is a province well known for its rug designs and colors. The rug weaving villages in Mahal are famous for their floral patterns. The knot count for this rug is 200. The weaving technique is hand-tufted, which is a rug-making process where weavers insert yarn into the rug backing with a handheld tufting gun to push and pull the threads through a pre-woven grid foundation. In a tufted rug, the tops of the loops are sheared to expose the ends of the threads for a softer, plusher pile. Herat Oriental
