Artisans use traditional vegetable dyes, such as madder for deep reds, indigo for intense blues, and turmeric for golden shades. These natural pigments give the rugs rich, nuanced, and long-lasting colors.
Woven on horizontal looms using techniques passed down from generation to generation, these rugs have a high knot density that guarantees remarkable solidity and exceptional longevity.
