This beautiful original persian rug is all hand made in the Ca. 2000`s. Each knot in this superb piece of oriental art was made by a master weaver. We list rugs as PERFECT, if they have no visible signs of wear or use, have a full high pile all over the rug, and are in SUPERB condition - even after generations of use. These are the best rugs to buy, since they have already proofed their outstanding quality. Classic oriental rugs fit perfect with all styles of furniture. Due to their non industrial production, persian handmade rugs have certain typical signs: Real Persian rugs always have fringes. Usually they are made of cotton, silk or wool. Due to the organic materials and often used natural, mineral or herbal colors / dyes, and different batches / lots of wool, persian rugs have a phenomenon called ABRASH: This is a change or variation in the color of a rug due to differences in the wool or dye bath. The effect of abrash is subtle shading differences. In older or antique rugs, abrash occurs naturally. In new rugs, Abrash is carefully created by changing the color of the yarns to mimic a vintage look. It occurs in parallel stripes of different color within the rug. This is not a infirmity - it is a typical sign of a true handmade persian rug. Also, Persian rugs have a dark and a light side - this appears from the reflection and absorption of light falling on to the pile. For any questions, please: CONTACT DJOHARIAN FINE ORIENTAL RUGS
