Colorful 3'9" x 6'4" ft  hand knotted real antique rug (early 1900s estimate sarouk). Made of fine lamb sheep wool and vegetable dyes with amazing hue variation unmatched by modern techniques. Professionally cleaned. No animals or smoke. Only small antique wear over the century. Double tied knots upon two foundation layers for durability, finely and durably knotted. Millions of individually hand tied knots. A valid antique with historic weight and old world craftsmanship at a bargain value price. Dyes oxidize over the century giving nuanced lighter and darker reds and blues as seen in images, an affect called 'abrash' by curators and collectors. Lifetime heirloom quality and exceptionally fair price. Will maintain value or exceed. See all 18 images.
