Hilights within the Design also Include small areas of Undyed IvoryWhite. Measures 180cm x 99cm (5ft 11 inches x 3ft 3 inches). Obviously Dates from the Last Quarter of the 19th Century and in my Opinion based on many years of dealing in Antique Tribal Rugs is in Very Good Condition for its Over 120 Years of Age with Original Three Strand Goat Hair Selvedges Intact, the Black Lines in the Ground Corroded as Expected but only a very few tiny areas exposing the base weave and the Balance of the Pile in Very Good Condition with only very minor signs of the years at the warp ends and a small area of minor damage which can be seen in a close up in the last of the pictures provided.
