Hand-Made Iranian Felt Rugs by Peace Industry


These beautiful and earth-friendly felt rugs from Peace Industry are hand-made in Iran without the use of chemicals or non-organic dyes. They are made in the ancient and very rare tradition of Iranian wool felting which dates back to the Neolithic Age. This dying art form has gained new recognition with the help of Peace Industry founders Melina and Dodd Raissnia, who sought out artisans in Iran to create rugs of their designs, while insuring that all the goods are produced with fair-trade practices. Orders may be placed directly through Peace Industry; certain styles are also available exclusively at Design Within Reach.
