Finely woven example bearing great detail, unique artistic merit with minor nuances, and fully reconciled main border design showing no truncated design elements and inwardly pointed palmettes.

Condition notes: Mostly even wear across to knot heads. Most of the original side cord selvages are intact or restored. Fully secured sides and ends. A few dime sized scattered repairs in varying degrees of expertise. Reduction to outer minor border. Recently professionally cleaned ready for in-home use! Many years of enjoyment to come with this hand knotted Persian Farahan Sarouk rug made in Persia circa 1895-1910 vintage. less
