1959 Caucasian Rug

3 foot 4 inch by 6 foot 11 inch.

This is an old Caucasian rug, dated 1959 at the top. Excellent condition and with a pretty design. The main field is antique rose with pastel accents. Pile is full and the rug looks nearly unused.

This appears to be one of the rugs that the refugees brought out of Karabagh.
