The setting is an eclectically decorated apartment within a 1920’s pre-war high-rise.

Description

Offered here is a handwoven rug of authentic, Iranian origin. This rare Oriental is in excellent shape for its age given that it is nearly 100 years old. The rug features a fantastical center medallion which is highlighted by the vibrant red wool background and splendid floral borders. Although the region of Iran is unknown, it is similar to rugs designed and hand knotted in the Heriz, Sarouk, and Mashad regionalistic styles. The exact size of the rug is 9'5" x 12'7".
