Handwoven Natural Wool Kharad Rug from the Kutch - Grey Striped

A handwoven Kharad rug in natural wool, made by skilled weavers in the Kutch region of Gujarat, western India. Kharad weaving is a rare, centuries-old flat-weave tradition, and this rug shows it at its quietest and most elegant.

The palette is entirely undyed-looking and restrained: soft white, dove grey and deep chocolate brown. Broad bands of dark wool alternate with fine pinstripes, giving the rug a lovely rhythm. Between them run delicate woven borders of zigzags, diamonds, dotted lines and little star motifs, which reward a closer look. A wider band of patterning at each end frames the rug, which is finished with short, natural fringes.

The wool is warm, durable and forgiving, which makes this a practical rug for busy places as well as a handsome one.
