Midnight at dusk is this beauty’s calling card. This antique Laristan, at 10 x 13’7, carries a deep, midnight blue ground that lets every bit of that marigold yellow glow like it’s lit from within. It reads like glowing poetry…an allover botanical design that feels completely alive, pulling straight from nature with that loose, expressive movement you only get in truly old pieces.
Look closely…there’s a whimsical bird motif tucked into the field. One of those quiet details that makes you stop, stare, and then smile when you catch it. The craftsmanship here is remarkable. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, the handle is something else…soft like silk but with real weight behind it. You can see the trapped lanolin oils, giving it that rich, almost luminous surface.
And that marigold yellow border…frames the whole composition and locks it in perfectly. Condition is minty…which is such a lovely bonus for those who want a rug that has age without the condition being compromised. Unlike anything that we have collected, this fabulous gem stands out as a real treasure.
