{"product_id":"mehrab-sareki-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","title":"Mehrab Sareki One-OF-A-Kind-Afghan Rug","description":"\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Mazar-e-Sharif Sareki carpet of rare teal-turquoise ground — a colour achieved through the patient layering of indigo and natural yellows — and among the most visually arresting pieces in the collection.\u003cbr\u003eThe teal ground of this carpet is not a happy accident. Achieved through the combination of indigo — the blue that has dyed textiles across Central Asia for millennia — with natural plant-source yellows in a process requiring precise timing and a weaver with an intimate knowledge of the dye, it is a colour that most Afghan workshop production never attempts. Against this clear turquoise field, the large octagonal gul medallions of the Ersari Turkmen tradition — rendered in deep navy and crimson — read with a freshness and visual authority quite different from anything the red-dominant Afghan palette produces. The Turkmen craftspeople of Mazar-e-Sharif have maintained the formal vocabulary of their Central Asian heritage while allowing this exceptional ground colour to announce something new. Knotted in wool on a cotton foundation at approximately 110 knots per square inch.\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":43640152522818,"sku":"IDX-HS-B025247","price":58000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/0206\/4706\/files\/B025247.jpg?v=1776152605","url":"https:\/\/ikkadukka.com\/products\/mehrab-sareki-one-of-a-kind-afghan-rug","provider":"Ikka Dukka Studio Private Limited.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
