Okay, can we talk about this shape for a second? It’s 3'5" x 3'7", basically a square, which is such a fun size to style and it's also rare to find when it comes to old rugs.
This one is a late 19th-century Persian piece woven with gorgeous, rich vegetable dyed wool. The color story is all earthy, grounding tones with a neutral ground that warms up a space without shouting. Up close, it has this cool lattice design made up of branching tree trunks, a classic Tree of Life motif, with these long, bird-like paisley shapes all through it. Framed out by a dainty little border band with a floral chain motif.
She’s a little rough around the edges and definitely shows her age, and that's just part of the charm. A totally solid little antique Persian that would look killer in a farmhouse chic space. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
