Colorful 7'10" x 11'10" ft hand knotted clean real antique rug (very early 1900s estimate). Made of fine lamb sheep wool and vegetable dyes with amazing hue variation unmatched by modern techniques. Professionally cleaned. No stains, animal or smoke. The field tone is an antiqued red tone that can go lighter or darker in person depending on your own lighting and angles of view. Spectacular accents of blue green teal and others. Double tied knots upon two foundation layers for durability, finely and durably knotted. Millions of individually hand tied knots. Dyes oxidize over the century giving beautiful nuanced tones lighter or darker red and blues, an affect called 'abrash' by curators and collectors. There is some antique wear over the century, buy if ok and wanting a real antique with historical weight and classic charm that will last another century. Dyes from pomegranate, beet, indigo, iris, and so many more. See all images and closeups as part of description.
