Antique South Persian rug 38"x46"...This rug has the most incredible colors and wool. It has fine silky goat hair warp and wool wefts. The colors of the weft alternate throughout the rug: yellow and green, red and green, yellow and brown, etc. It has the deep chestnut brown (that does not corrode) as well as a beautiful gold color (both very typical dyes used in the top-end early Qashqai Kashkuli rugs)... It is hard to label this rug..it could be Luri (??)..it has much finer weave than even the best Luri rugs i have seen over th years. In terms of weave it compares with high quality Qashqai and Baharlu rugs. i bought this rug in 1993 or 1994 from Nomadic Rug Trader in Sydney. i have used and enjoyed it as a wall hanging for a long time. Now i am ready to part with it. It is a cheerful elegant rug that was not made for commercial market.
