APPROX 25-45 YR OLD HAND KNOTTED SILK RUG, 9'1'' x 11'9'': This beautiful silk rug has a traditional Persian Ardebil design but we are not sure of its country of origin. The large rounded central medallion with spandrels has satellite medallions radiating out from the main medallion onto the red colored field. The four corners of the field have quarters of the central medallions design done in the same soft colors of ivory, yellow, pale green, red, and black accents. The rest of the field is covered with a multitude of various small motifs also in the same colors as above. The borders have light colored grounds with a wide red panel alternating with a small round black medallion. This is a very elegant looking rug.
CONDITION: This rug is fresh from Tinney Rug Cleaners but there are still some stains, some visible wear, and some shading.
