:: Large scale center medallion with minor cartouche compartments surrounding a smaller starburst floral medallion with a sky blue ground. Main medallion adorned at either end with germinating plant finials in multi tier design rendering. Main border in two decidedly different design rende3ring - a meandering vine and palmette, with one end in a detailed arabesques with partial samovar relief. Gorgeous example in the more uncommon ivory ground shade. Colors and shades include: Ivory, sapphire blue, navy blue black, dusty rose, dusty teal, dusty blush, brick red, madder root rust, and more. Condition notes: Even wear across to knot heads with faint foundation showing through. Most of the original side cord selvages are intact or restored. Fully secured sides and ends. Some moderate condition issues commensurate with type and age - large regions of stiffness inherent to type, age and time. Several localized areas of repair and darning in varying degrees of expertise. Localized discoloration on the reverse side.
