This rug will be handwoven by Saida.
This Flatweave rug will be made from 100% "live" wool and will be carded, brushed and spun by Saida. The beautiful white that you see is undyed, natural wool. The designs will be embroidered with henna, saffron, and pomegranate dyed wool.
In more traditional, vintage rug design, the symbolism is often a wish or depiction of the artisan’s life. These days, the next generation of artisans finds inspiration in other sources, like the natural landscapes around them. For example, the pronged diamond symbol in the center of this rug represents a frog. The diamond shapes in the four corners can be interpreted as flowers or symbols of protection against the evil eye. Details like this give Khadijah’s minimalist piece character that will shine in any home.
Each rug is made entirely by hand so there will always be small variations in pattern, color and exact size (up to 10 cm / 4" variation) due to the organic nature of the materials.
