This rug is no exception, amazing soft wool in a fantastic variety of colours. The rug is also beautifully finished with the original kilim ends showing.

The condition is fairly good, with a low cut pile all over but no significant restoration. We have preserved the side-cords adding the original multicoloured design matching the original. With our excellent sturdy underlay included, this would sit happily on the floor. Often we find these rugs hung on the wall too as they are like a work of art!Stock number
