About the Item

Genuine Antique Persian Carpet - Very Moody & Deep Old-World Indigo Feraghan-Mahal With Green, Rust, Honey. About: This piece is very tricky to photograph because it is jam packed with so many colors and they all shift and sway like grass in the wind. The way the light hits this piece will have the salmons, greens, and ice blues glowing - or they will enrich the deep indigo and warm up the rust to melt into the rug with the buttery-wheat honey hue that runs through like lava. This is the epitome of old-world design with respect of rug weaving. These pieces were 100% solely woven for the european market until about the turn of the century and the years that followed. These soft colors come from all-natural and organic dyes that have softened over 100+ years in the relatively mild european climate where this piece lived most of its life. The all-over water garden design suggests it was commissioned to be woven by a design group to easily place it into large spaces with nice rich woods, leather, and brass and gold finishes - yet still versatile enough to work with any types of fabrics and window treatments - this is why we call this piece a ""Designer piece"", because it is truly a dream to work with both to build a room around, and/or to introduce as the last and final element. Nice floppy handle speaking to its age, and just a very moody ralph lauren-esk type of piece. In a retail store, this carpet would easily go for $18-30k if not more depending on the city; here we're offering it for a very modest price given what this piece actually is. You will love this piece and it will stay with you for the rest of your life, as it should. This is a sophisticated carpet for the discerning eye, truly. Size: 10 x 13 Age: Antique, C. 1900-1915's Pile: Low with incredible wear and distress from genuine age-related wear and patina, SUPER character-rich piece. Ancient restorations that are thoughtfully done throughout. This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one in the world, no others are available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).
