Size: 1 foot 8 inch by 3 foot 5
inch.
This dyes in this piece are
spectacular. The aubergine is about as good as I
have ever seen. The reds are spectacular as is
the green. There is, as one would expect in a
piece of this age, a corrosive brown but
fortunately it is used very sparingly in the
outer guard border..
My theory is that these are
descended from grain sacks but at a certain point
they there was a dichotomy of intent with ones
like this made primarily as a cushion. This would
have had a back when it was made but that is of
course now gone.
This is piece dates to Circa
1890. All the dyes look Natural. It is a handmade
pile weaving from Iran. It is handmade and
in very good condition. The bottom right corner
is fine the skirt just rolled.
