Knotted in pure, soft wool of very good quality, the shimmering, almost volcanic colors catch the eye. The irregularities, considered by collectors to contribute to its charm, come from the fact that the looms are regularly dismantled to be transported as part of their nomadic lifestyle. The tribal elegance of this rug will fit perfectly into all types of interiors, from the most contemporary to the most classic. less
