This runner is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Tabriz rugs are among the most beautiful and legendary carpets ever built. Many rugs produced in Tabriz are attempting to follow the incredible artistry of the Persian Safavid rugs. However, the design of this rug was copied and re-created in the Varanasi region of India. The villagers do the entire process of shearing, washing, dyeing, and weaving of the rugs within their compound by hand. These rugs are virtually identical in design, workmanship, and authenticity to the originals. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Keep your rug looking new for years to come. The touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size, and design. Slight differences should be expected.
