On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this design which is an exemplar of the beauties that distinguish Ersari rugs and their tribal rug designs. Colors have aged particularly beautifully, as one can see in the brightest hues one seldom sees so crisp and lively for even a vintage rug of this period—a collectible and rich work of folk art with a more dense repeat than many of its provenance enjoy as well. Keen eyes for detail may admire this regal colorway of beige-brown and light blue tones underscore geometric patterns in a play of medallion and all over style, a particularly subtle execution of color and pattern, almost evoking neutrals in kind.

Condition:

This vintage Ersari rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
