A truly singular achievement, this impressive Souf carpet represents the highest heights achieved by the master weavers of Persian rugs and carpets. Expertly embossed with silk throughout, it is difficult to overstate the fineness of this beautiful carpet. Further, that it should be in such immaculate, mint condition greatly adds to its already considerable rarity; fine examples of Souf egypt rugs are very difficult to come by in general, while pieces in condition like this are practically unheard of. From the delicate brown shade of the background through the sumptuous Ivory, red and red tones that color the detail work throughout, this beautiful vintage carpet shimmers with beauty in Brown corner. The incredible precision with which this piece has been woven is practically unparalleled in the world of vintage rugs. The complexity of the detail work, from the floral elements to the vine scrolls to the corner pieces, is nothing short of staggering. A truly remarkable composition, this vintage Souf carpet exemplifies the very best qualities of the finest vintage Oriental rugs and carpets.
