Sumptuous Karabag rug from Armenia. Woven and knotted wool on wool in the traditional way. Remarkable wool quality, very soft, almost silky. Like most old Caucasian rugs, the pile is rather short, the knotted stitch precise and regular. Boteh patterns on the entire central field, surrounded by borders with floral patterns. Magnificent natural and plant shades, very soft and yet deliciously bright and deep. Circa 1880 Very good condition, some very discreet wear. Dim: 362 x 116 cm Laurent Beauty of Kilims
