APPROX 20-35 YR OLD SINO-PERSIAN HAND KNOTTED WOOL AND SILK RUG, 7'8'' x 10'8'': A very large central medallion with palmettes at each end is done in rose, pale pink, pale green and white and rests on a grayish ivory field. Over the rest of the field are delicately drawn flowers and leaves and vines done in the same soft colors. The white accents in the rug which especially stand out in the central medallion are silk highlights. The difference in the texture and the sheen of the silk add to the interest of this rug. The grey/blue guard borders, the rose/pink corners of the field and the main border complete the soft charm of this rug.
CONDITION: There is some shading and surface soiling but condition is mostly good.
