About the Item

Handmade in wool circa 1950-1960 originating from the titular city in India, this 4x5 vintage Karavar rug features a colorful adaptation of lion pictorial. On the Design Though one of its many beauties is the variety of colors for such detailed and regal patterns, keen eyes will note the colorful tones and a more impressionistic and even more colorful adaptation of folk art than many of the provenances known for this such as Persian and Turkish tribal rugs. Admirers of the craft will note an excellent use of a very minimal or rather reserved palette, not to mention the colors have aged beautifully for a work of this period—one of sharp detail and a regal quality in beautiful, uncommon colors for this provenance. Pictorial rugs with animals like this are extremely collectible, as few remain today and each is a one-of-a-kind treasure. Connoisseurs and designers will note that this vintage Karavar rug style is admirable for its grandeur especially for those seeking a conversational historical context—a collectibility matched only by the dynamic, kingly nature of this animal pictorial rug. Condition: This vintage Karavar rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin.
