This rug was carefully curated with a focus on colors, motifs and weave quality that reflect the artistry and history of where it comes from. It is an original rug produced by the people living in the region at that time. As such, it also reflects the wear and care by the generations of families that owned it and passed it down to each other as an heirloom. Signs of natural wear, repairs and asymmetry are only evidence that this rug has been around the block and proudly shows it. The rug’s unique imperfections along with a perfect amount of patina simply prove that this Mahal was built to last.
