Shahsavan bag, early 20th century

Measurements: 50cm x 47cm

48 Knots per inch

Price: £60

A crudely drawn bagface with diagonal stripes containing stylised boteh. Note the drawing of the butterfly border often seen on kurdish and northern Persian rugs. It is so badly executed that it loses all form on the vertical borders. Despite this I think it has some charm and I like inconsistencies in my rugs and trappings.

Condition:

Quite worn in places with some staining.
