Handwoven in the mountain villages north of Persia (near the Black Caspian Sea), these rugs were commonly created by women who worked from memory, repeating the symbols, flowers, and geometric forms passed through generations rather than following a factory-drawn pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThe dark central field is filled with rows of stylized flowering trees and tulip-like forms, surrounded by tiny protective diamonds and angular tribal markings. A wide ivory border carries large geometric rosettes and groups of pinwheel-like motifs, while smaller red and blue borders frame everything with even more color and movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThe vegetable-dyed wool has mellowed beautifully, but still remains vibrant and with contrast. Antique Caucasians always have great contrasting colors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eThis one exhibits new and old repairs, patches, reinforced areas, worn sections, and plenty of evidence that people cared enough to keep it going, including me. Its weave is supple with a wonderfully floppy handle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eBecause of its age and condition, it is not recommended for a high-traffic area. Give it a quieter hallway or low-traffic spot where all that survival and old rug magic can be properly appreciated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWill ship with a custom cut rug pad on the house.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e____________________________________________________________________________________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Rug Rundown…                                                                \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ethe wool…the weave…the wear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eSize: 3'4 x 7'2\u003cbr data-end=\"22\" data-start=\"19\"\u003eMaterial: Vegetable-dyed wool \u003cbr data-end=\"77\" data-start=\"74\"\u003eConstruction: Hand knotted\u003cbr data-end=\"110\" data-start=\"107\"\u003eOrigin: Caucasus region\u003cbr data-end=\"173\" data-start=\"170\"\u003eAge: Early 1900s\u003cbr data-end=\"196\" data-start=\"193\"\u003eDesign: Tribal floral with stylized flowering trees, tulip motifs, geometric rosettes, protective diamonds, and multiple geometric borders.\u003cbr data-end=\"341\" data-start=\"338\"\u003eCondition: Beautifully worn with numerous old and new repairs, patches, reinforced areas, and a wonderfully floppy handle.
