{"product_id":"mushwani-rug","title":"Mushwani rug","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoasting breath-taking textures and and warming colours, this handwoven Afghan Mushwani rug is a great way to add some pattern and interest to your space. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis near-square Afghan rug features cosy colour tones of warm reds, rust, terracotta as well as navy, blue and beige. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern this Afghan Mushwani rug blends perfectly with the rich colour scheme. This design is rather ingenious. It features a lattice of small diamond motifs, cleverly arranged within larger geometric diamond formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe distinctive feature of this Mushwani rug\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe characteristic that makes this handwoven rug so remarkable is it's interesting weave. It is the handwoven weave that forms the amazing textures contained in this Afghan rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weaver creates this distinctive texture by harmonising two different rug weaving techniques into one rug. This rug therefore contrasts elements of hand-knotted pile with sections of intricate flat-weaving. It is a trait of Afghan Mushwani rugs to have this high-low finish to the surface of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a charming look because the rug weaving techniques used to make this rug results in a three dimensional appearance. How clever?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this handwoven Afghan rug is made from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Mushwani Afghan rug was handmade totally from wool. The pile and flat woven sections are wool, as are the warp threads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warp threads are the yarns upon which the interesting patterns and cosy coloured wool are woven onto. The warps are therefore the yarns which are attached to the loom at the outset of the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can tell that the warps are made from wool by looking at the fringes of the rug. The fringes are also the warp threads - each one travels the entire length of the rug and emerges at the other end. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing this handmade rug in your home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis red and blue Afghan rug is a useful off-square proportion. Square rugs are generally not so easy to find in Oriental rugs. Typically Oriental rugs tend to be rectangular in proportion. Happily, Afghan Mushwani rugs are an origin that seem to produce these useful square shaped rugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're considering using this rug on hard flooring or fitted carpet, think about partnering it with a rug underlay as this is a relatively lightweight rug. A rug underlay will help keep this rug neatly in position as well as helping to prevent any accidents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey details:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 137×122cm \/ 4’6″x4’0″ \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 5mm (Kilim part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarp: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081533788491,"sku":"TORM-1178-MUSHWANI RUG-137 X 122CM","price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Mushwani-1.37x1.22m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786282934","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/mushwani-rug","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
