African Handwoven Wool Rug South Africa 55x32inch MATTER COLLECTION

Dusty Rose, Karakul Wool Rug South Africa, 1987

Dusty Rose is a handwoven Karakul wool rug created in South Africa in 1987, reflecting the region's rich textile traditions and the enduring skill of its artisans. Carefully woven by hand using traditional techniques, the rug displays a distinctive texture and character that highlight the individuality of its maker. Measuring approximately 55 x 32 inches, it is well suited for use as an accent rug, wall hanging, or decorative textile.

Made from Karakul wool, a material prized for its durability and warmth, the rug showcases the natural beauty and unique qualities of South African wool. Variations in color, weave, and texture are characteristic of handmade textiles and add to the individuality and charm of the piece. South African weaving traditions have long incorporated locally sourced fibers and time-honored methods, resulting in textiles that are both functional and artistic. Dusty Rose stands as a fine example of these traditions and of the craftsmanship associated with South African handwoven wool rugs.

We do not recommend laundering textiles and do not accept returns of textiles that have been laundered in any manner. Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. For some of them, a very gentle HAND wash (NEVER MACHINE, on any setting) in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and fabric may be less strong than it appears.
