On the Design:

Rich brown underscores of florals with light pink, red, blue and cream tones, and both the field and border enjoy touches of chartreuse green—a refreshing and fabulous play of traditional Oriental rug design and a modern air that has vast applications. Admirers of the craft may note that both the color and pattern look to be inspired by Bessarabian rugs and Kilims, evoking their particularly rustic approach to the French Neoclassical aesthetic that would yield so many gorgeous country rugs like this piece. Each medallion reveals delicate botanical motifs rendered in varying shades of rose and coral, their designs achieving remarkable clarity despite the piece's age. Any keen eyes for detail can appreciate this unexpected way to approach a traditional design, with its unique classic look, detail, movement, and phenomenal range of colors in kind.

This vintage Karabagh runner rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. See less
