Shahsavan long rug, early 20th century

Measurements: 278cm x 115cm (9’1 x 3’1)

42 Knots per inch

Price: £620

A colourful rug with long pile and a bold design. Four large octagons dominate the central spine each different in colour and flanked by hooked motifs. This is quite a crude weave with a wool foundation, the design becomes less sharp when the pile is so long but I think the rug has a strong impact and would grace the right room.

Condition:

Good condition, the ends are a little uneven and the selvedges have been repaired in places.
