Natural dyes are one of the things that make handwoven rugs unique. In this Sabzevar rug, indigo blues appear in the corner spandrels and small borders, while the madder-dyed field has softened into a gentle pink/coral through the antique wash.

If you would like to bring a garden into your home, this rug offers just that. In your imagination, you can walk alongside the weaver through this flower-filled garden.
