A Dyeing Art
Ali Khavaree is a rug
maker from the Khorosan Province who learned his techniques
from an old carpet weaving master. Using all vegetable
dyes created from plants indegenous to his home province,
he makes rugs in very limited quantities, featuring both flat
weave and pile.
"Few people in my country recognize the value of perserving the techniques and processes that our ancestors praticed for centuries. There are no books that explain which plants or flowers to combine to create certain hues. My work is not merely about the commercial aspect of the business of rugs, but the preservation of centuries of fine carpet weaving." -- Ali Khavaree
Beautiful one of a kind pieces are woven
of all wool.
Mr. Khavaree personally supervises the
dyeing of all wool with only vegetable dyes.
