       ( High-Collectible )   Bearing an " old world " sense of grace and ethereal beauty,this extremely early antique Qashqa'i, an Oriental style revered in the 19th century for breath-taking delicacy and refinement,is a rare rug we purchased from Milan,Italy. The subtlety of the rug's highly restrained palette. In combination with the meticulously fine weave and petite point design of blossoming boteh ( " Seed of Life " motifs ) reveal the consummate skill of a master weaver and true artisan.

The simplicity and spaciousness of the main vermilion border provide perfect balance to its shimmering, gossamer interior.
