6'2" x 9'2" ft  hand knotted authentic antique worn rug (late 1800s estimate shiraz) made of wool and vegetable dyes. Professionally cleaned. No stains animal or smoke. Natural vegetable dyes oxidize over the century giving many tones lighter and darker, a beautiful affect called 'abrash' by collectors. Natural dyes from pomegranate beet indigo and more. Double tied knots on two foundation layers for generations of use. There is antique wear or low pile over the century, buy if ok, but clean and durable for another century.
