Cotton durries have a long history in India. When cotton is replaced with wool, the result becomes entirely different, and the name changes to “kilim”, akin to those that have existed for thousands of years in Iran, Turkey, and the Caucasus. However, the basic weaving technique remains the same.
Weavers in villages around Mirzapur, a city in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, have been crafting such pieces for the past three decades. Their designs are influenced by the Persian patterns often found in tribal weavings of Persia.
The noble harmony of colours and the clarity of the pattern make this rug one that could enchant any room into a marvellous space.
This is an extremely practical piece of rug.
