If you are hunting for an antique piece with enormous personality, this 1920s rug from the rugged NW mountains of Persia is an absolute knockout! It showcases edgy tribal art with a bold, rectilinear design that is definitely not the typical art and design we see every day. The allover art layout makes it incredibly easy to design a room around, anchored by a deep navy main border filled with stylized turtle motifs.
Handwoven with greatly aged and nicely mellowed vegetable dyes, the warm terracotta, soft powder blues, pinks, and creams have settled into a stunning, harmonious palette. Sitting at a comfortable low pile, it is in excellent condition with light and even wear consistent with its age, including one single fist-size area of repair that blends seamlessly into the weave.
Measuring 7'9 x 10', this piece is durable, heavy, and built like a tank, making it a perfect, worry-free foundation for a high-traffic zone, daily family life with kids at play, or energetic fur babies eager to claim the best spot in the house!
