One of the most intricate and demanding patterns in the weaving repertoire, framed by a panel border of individually drawn garden cartouches.

Colors move through sky blue, indigo, burgundy, emerald green, ivory, gold, and taupe — the classic Gonbad palette of blues, reds, and browns, layered so the design seems to shift and deepen the longer you look. It makes a statement in a living room, dining room, study, bedroom, or entry, and suits traditional, transitional, eclectic, maximalist, and global interiors.

Finely hand-knotted wool pile with dense, precise knotting and full pile. Excellent condition with minimal wear. Original multicolored kilim ends with ivory fringe and secured selvages. Measures 6'10" x 5'0" (82 in. x 60 in.). See less
