A bold piece of floor art from the 1920s, this antique Persian rug's main field looks like a ship viewed from above, sailing through a a dark brown sea of floating tribal motifs. Dragon motifs stand guard over unseen treasures, while S-hooks work their protective magic against the evil eye. The ice blue border bands ripple with alternating colored tribal patterns, leading to the final band’s flowing water motif, a nod to the life-giving force.
Fun colorways and natural abrash shifts, created when fresh batches of vegetable dyed wool are introduced, add richness and depth. Handwoven, sturdy, and full of history, this stout rug is both a statement piece and a steadfast companion for any space.
