Fringed Diamond Pattern Rug with Braid Tassels

This spectacular rug is handwoven to absolute perfection and bears an urbane aesthetic, making it an ideal choice for contemporary living spaces. It takes anywhere between a few days to several months to create one rug! The weaving process starts with a master craftsman hand painting the design and indicating the colors and layout of the proposed rug. Handweaving is a strenuous process that requires perfect rhythm and coordination. Contributing to 95% of the world's handwoven fabrics, hand operated looms are an integral part of the Indian culture. Handweaving in India is over 2000 years old! The craft has stayed true to its roots even in the face of severe competition from power looms. Indian handwoven fabrics are appreciated for their richness and fine quality. This rug also features adorable mini hand-braided tassels. Hand braiding involves interlacing thin yarns, ropes or fibres into objects such as rugs. Cotton fibers are spun into ropes and cut according to the length required. The ropes are then interlaced to form graceful braids and stitched together to be shaped into beautiful rugs like this one!
