On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate this very special antique rug for being not only an exceptional find from one of the most special provenances, but a rarity to find a floral Persian rug of such spacious size, scale, and love in its every inch. Though polychromatic in its beauty, like a dense and vibrant field of floral and geometric patterns, there’s a notable presence of red, black, blue, and orange hues among the many at work. Connoisseurs will appreciate what an uncommon play of styles this is, with a playful sense of symmetry and scale, too, making it very modern for its age. This is a bold, graphic, personal antique piece; a piece of weaving history most likely from a special workshop with a deep reverence for the charm of floral rugs—this being one of the most elegant and versatile we’ve seen.

Condition:

This antique Persian runner rug prevails in good condition with minimal wear consistent with age and origin. See less
