These majestic stamp rugs come in different sizes and colors which reflect the different price denominations. These majestic stamp rugs can be used both as floor and wall decorations.
The majestic stamp rugs are handwoven and hand-knotted in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal using 100% New Zealand wool. The highly skilled weavers are Tibetan and Nepalese. Rug Maker is proud of their GoodWeave certification which is issued only to rug and carpet makers which do not use illegal child labor.
