About the Item

Gorgeous Large & Muted Antique Kurd-Malayer Charcoal, Purple, Taupe, Grey, Rust, More About: These colors are Nuts! If you look closely, you'll see Purple, Moss Greens, Pistachio, Smokey Charcoal black, Tones of Natural taupe, grey, beige, eggshell butter, etc., with Rust, Melon, Ice Blue and Denim blues, and so much more! We call this the Frankenstein rug because it’s been resized a few times (very well done) but still not the original size and without these restorations and alterations the rug would be larger and probably nearly double the price! This piece isn’t for someone looking for a mint condition perfection piece, it’s for someone that wants a bear of a rug and something wonderfully decorative that will hold up in high traffic! Size: 10.9 x 13.9 Age: Antique, C. 1940's Pile: Incredible age-related wear and patina. This piece has been re-sized a couple of times, see pics; making it a unique large size of nearly 11 x 14 which is amazing because that is a standard larger size in the rug world but we're lucky because this piece was probably an enormous 12x18 which wouldn't fit in most spaces, but this slightly smaller size actually makes it more versatile for bedrooms, great rooms, and also a ton of commercial spaces as it is very durable and ready for traffic! 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. Always recommend a high-quality custom cut pad for any and all rugs; these pads are made for hand-knotted rugs. They create a body and support the knots of the rug, as well as prevent it from slipping and sliding. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).
