The rug features a classic navy blue background, framed by a soft grey border that allows the vibrant design to truly stand out. At the heart of the rug lies a stunning medallion, adorned with intricate floral patterns, butterflies, and lantern motifs. On each side of the medallion, two smaller circular motifs with delicate flowers provide balance and symmetry to the design. Adding to the overall beauty, carefully placed flying butterflies grace the field, creating a sense of movement and life within the composition.

The rug is framed by three borders, each beautifully decorated with more floral elements, enhancing the overall theme of nature and harmony. The wool quality is exceptional, with a luxurious shine that highlights the richness of the colors and craftsmanship.

While the rug shows some signs of wear due to its age, the condition remains remarkable given its historical significance. The slight wear only adds to the rug’s character, telling the story of its long journey through time. What I love most about this piece is its incredible attention to detail and the way it encapsulates the artistry and craftsmanship of the late 19th century. It’s not just a rug; it's a piece of history, bringing timeless beauty and a sense of heritage into any room. See less
