Origin & Authenticity: This piece bears the original, officially numbered Certificate of Authenticity on the back (Certificate No. 132375). The certificate explicitly states the origin as a handmade "Herat Kilim", originating from the historic weaving center Herat in Afghanistan. The rug was imported into Europe at the time via The Pelma Collection’s specialized import network.
