Diamonds and multi-sided rectangles march across the surface in striking formation, their forms bold enough to register from across a room yet full of fine interior detail upon closer inspection. Its generous width and length make it a natural gallery runner or wide corridor rug, bringing warmth and visual energy to any long passage.

Its antique age, unusual proportions, and the crosscultural richness of its design make it a genuinely rare and rewarding acquisition.
