Pile: Low with patina

About: Oh so beautiful. Incredible wool pile with rich lanolin and super soft high-quality wool. VERY fine weave for a nomadic village rug, and just such an incredible color palette it's not even funny; clay, deep amber, earthy rust, deep mocha and chocolate, sensational blues, antique beige, deep forest green, teals, and more. This design is like poetry, so much symbolism and deep meaning of love; after all, 80% of the rug is made up of "boteh" seed designs, suggesting that this piece was woven by a mother. These motifs surround one of the best looking medallions we've seen, not only because the colors have a nice contrast and it's an attractive design inside, but because the artistic asymmetrical design of the medallion is reminiscent of the ancient and highly-sought-after medallions of the old Bakshyesh rugs that are in museums and in high-end rug collectors collections. Everything about this rug is perfect, even some of the brown in the rug are oxidizing due to its age and has created this very subtle patina that is to die for. Wool pile on wool foundation speaking to its age and nomadic nature - an all-around true example of the art of weaving at it's finest.

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. See less
