72 Knots per inch

This is a fascinating rug with a busy design on a white field. The bolder motifs are balanced by the small flowers, boteh, chickens and peacocks. It is a rug that demands your attention and I find myself being drawn into the detail, noticing new elements each day. The colours are subdued and pleasing and despite it’s obvious wear I think it has a great look.

Condition:

Low pile all over. The sides and end are compromised as well but the rug is usable and priced according to the condition.
