MANSION SIZED, ANTIQUE PERSIAN TABRIZ HAND KNOTTED RUG – 13.3 x 19.6 (404cm x 594cm)
Mansion sized, antique Persian Tabriz rug was hand knotted in Iran of 100% natural wool and has a cotton foundation. The rug is 100+ years old, has medium to low wool piles and is in excellent condition for its age. Beautiful colors with excellent quality with an extremely intricate and detailed pattern. This rug is showing signs of abrash (fading) due to the use of antiquated vegetable dyes. No holes or repairs, nice and soft. This rug was acquired from a Richmond, Virginia estate. Recent embargoes by the U.S. against Iranian goods should cause the value of these rugs to increase.
