This is a good room size rug with an attractive design. My gaze is drawn to the border which normally plays a minor part in the design but here it dominates being unusually wide with a white ground. The design within, the mother and child boteh is also normally seen as a main field feature. The central field is tamer in comparison but overall the design works and I think it is a piece that has a strong presence.
Condition:
Good condition, it is a little bumpy with some of the bumps having worn slightly but otherwise sound.
