This antique Persian rug is a true treasure to behold, telling a captivating story through its intricate details. The field is adorned with small-scale paisleys, elegantly arranged in a linear pattern, with subtle hints of mint green popping against a warm blush red backdrop making it a cinch to style. The border features a charming caterpillar design on an ivory ground, adding to its whimsical allure.
What makes this fabulous rug even more special is its use of aged natural dyes, creating a delightful palette that has evolved gracefully over the years. Handwoven with skill and precision using vegetable-dyed wool, it stands as a wonderful example of traditional craftsmanship. Despite its age, the rug remains in great condition, showcasing stability and strength with a low pile.
Acquired from a majestic 1860s mansion of 150+ acres of land nestled in the Catskills, this fantastic little rug will add a touch of heritage to any space it resides in. Preserving the essence of a time long past, it offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. This treasure not only exudes character but also brings a sense of connection to a rich past, making it a distinctive and cherished addition to any home.
