Even people with extensive rug knowledge will easily confuse this innovative power-loomed rug for an authentic hand-knotted piece. Side weaved to create flexibility and softness using fine, pure New Zealand wool and accented with a shimmering Viscose/Wool blend for contrasting highlights. This collection is a hybrid blend of machine-made and hand-made. After the weaving is completed each piece is sent to our hand-made facility where it is hand-washed, hand-carved, and hand-surged exactly as authentic hand-made carpets have been finished for centuries.
