Story Behind the Art:

• This particular rug was made by village weavers in the town of Heriz, known as one of the most significant historical places in Azerbaijan province. The process of creating the rug includes cleaning, washing, and dyeing the wool with vegetable dyes, followed by weaving it by hand. The majority of the weavers are women who live in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and India, and creating these rugs provides them with job opportunities they might not have had otherwise. Additionally, local farmers benefit from wool sales and local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Regular vacuuming and professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come. Please note that color discrepancies may occur between the product and your computer screen.
