While this is a recognizable design, we rarely see it in an ivory background rug. It changes the rug dramatically. Whereas one normally sees all the secondary colors against a colored background, when they sit on the neutral, un-dyed ivory ground, each color can be taken in much more easily. The subtlety of the golds, the different shades of blue, all are revealed more. It’s amusing how the weavers needed to improvise after they wove the second medallion, as they hadn’t actually reached the middle of the rugs intended size. An elongation of the tree and field designs brings all back into proportion so that they can execute the final medallion with a sense of relief.

Condition Report

Excellent condition with some very minor reweaves.
