Why do we provide you with two global shots of the same carpet?
When you are standing in front of the pile (fine hairs) of this rug it will look a shade darker. However, when you are standing in the opposite direction of its pile, it will look a shade lighter. This is a common occurrence in fine hand-knotted rugs. It is also the reason we are showing you two global pictures of this carpet (one picture for each side depending on where you are standing). This feature is an interesting aspect of a handmade rug. It provides its owner with the opportunity to change up the look of their space just by changing the way the rug is placed in the room.

Finishing:
The finishing of this carpet was done using centuries old traditional techniques. Once its laborious hand-knotting was completed, it was rolled and entirely submerged in a sanitizing bath where its fibers fully absorbed all cleaning liquid. After which it was laid flat on the ground where a team of cleaners used wooden oar-like paddles to push the water through its fibers and draw out impurities. Oar strokes were done in sync to prevent the carpet from getting torn. Each stroke tightened the knots even further. No machines were involved in its washing or drying.
