About: The epitome of what antique rugs should be; from design to color, and to artistic expression. The iconic elongated anchor medallion flanked by the deconstructed Herati design is something to marvel at. Whether you know rugs and can identify the many unusual elements about this piece, or you are a novice with a good eye - this piece appeals to the entire spectrum. It's subtle color palette gives a nice soothing feel, only to be anchored by the deep charcoal-like black secondary color, then filled with variations of teals and blues. Heavy and exaggerated bands of abrash rip through this piece like it was made to be talked about, but we know only what we don't know - was it the weaver's intention? Or did she simply allow the random nature of selecting wool from the batch to determine the outcome of the final piece? The beauty of this art is in the mystique - I hope you love this piece as much as we do, as you can see all the allure in antique rugs in this little nomadic gem alone.

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one 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.

Any questions about this rug? Don't hesitate to reach out!

We 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.

A note from us to you: Buying a rug is special; it's not just you finding the rug, but also the rug finding you. Think about the many coincidences that have to occur for you to find the rug of your dreams. Our rugs are woven by nomads in the villages and remote mountainous regions of the major rug weaving districts across the world. All of our rugs are genuinely old and one-of-a-kind. Like anything old and unique, they are filled with character, soul, and story. The story of a rug is something we think about a lot; who was the weaver(s)? Did they weave it for personal use, commerce, to gift, or trade? Who was the second owner, and the third!? Sometimes the little motifs and symbols in rugs can help tell the story, but we will never truly know - there's something beautiful about that. Alas, our joy is to curate these incredible pieces that speak to us, and to pass them along to their new owners to be enjoyed and cherished for many years to come; both continuing to add to the story of the rug, and to the story of the new owners.
