On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will appreciate this as an extremely collectible find among traditional rugs, enjoying the best of both rare and ideal elements in traditional rugs of its provenance. Keen eyes for detail may admire the inspiration from a 17th century Turkish rug, made with a traditional process similar to hooking as connoisseurs would observe in the texture and pile. In this antique rug, beige underscores floral patterns in a play of rich brown with pastels—particularly a light salmon red tone present in both field and border alike.

This is a rare collectible piece of history as much as a work of art, in great condition for its age and origin. less
