81 Knots per inch
Price: £420
A sturdy Hamadan with an allover floral design picked out in bright red against a strongly abrashed blue background. Abrash or variations in dye batches are common on old rugs and I think it gives them some depth and interest. The central field contains pine cone motifs surrounded by a host of flowers on curving tendrils. The bright flowers contrast against the deep blue ground beautifully and the light blue border frames the picture.
A great rug that can be used in any setting.
