After the rug is cut from the loom there are several artisan finishing procedures in it's creation. The pile is cut shorter to show the detailing, the rug is washed, the weft threads on the sides are bound to form the selvedges, and the cotton warp threads form the fringes which, in this case, are artistically bound and tied with colourful woollen yarns that echo the main colours of the rug itself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCountry of Origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 200 x 152cm \/ 6'7\" x 5'0\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThickness: 7mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePile: Wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: New\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081583464779,"sku":"TORM-1122-FINE AFGHAN SULTANI RUG-200CM X 152CM","price":1065.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Sultani-2.00x1.52m_MAIN.jpg?v=1786283107","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/fine-afghan-sultani-rug","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
