{"product_id":"darbar-maimana-gelum-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","title":"Darbar Maimana Gelum One-OF-A-Kind-Afghan Rug","description":"\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small Herat Hazara Gelum of spectacular multicolour diamond composition — teal, magenta, yellow, orange — the nomadic textile tradition at its most unrestrained.\u003cbr\u003eThe Hazara have lived at the centre of Afghanistan's history — and at the margins of its power — for centuries. Their textiles, like their presence, are impossible to overlook. This small Gelum, woven entirely in wool in the slit-woven tapestry technique by Hazara craftspeople in the Herat region, arranges its dark ground with diamond forms in the full natural dye spectrum: teal, magenta, yellow, orange, ivory, red — the colours deployed with the uninhibited confidence of a tradition that makes textiles for living with rather than displaying. The crisp-edged geometry of the diamond boundaries, a structural gift of the slit-woven tapestry, gives the vivid palette a formal discipline it might otherwise lack. At this small scale, a piece like this operates with particular intensity as a layering element or accent — a small object that requires no apology for its chromatic ambition.\u003cbr\u003eA hand-knotted rug is an investment piece. With proper care it will last a lifetime and become a cherished heirloom. Each knot in this collection is tied by hand by nomadic tribesmen, making every piece entirely one of a kind.\u003cbr\u003eVariations in colour and tone — known as abrash — are a hallmark of authentic handmade rugs, particularly tribal and vintage pieces. Wear and age only add to their beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ikkadukka-store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43641025527874,"sku":"IDX-HS-D025546","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/0206\/4706\/files\/D025546.jpg?v=1776161762","url":"https:\/\/ikkadukka.com\/products\/darbar-maimana-gelum-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","provider":"Ikka Dukka Studio Private Limited.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
