1920-1930's Persian rug. Very bold and bright colors, Definitely turkish influence from the use of the flowers and geometric shapes. Since 2000 it has been rolled-up and not been used. Carpet has only been spot cleaned and vacuumed at home. No harsh processing or cleaning, colors are in excellent condition.

Owner Story: "I was with my father in Istanbul when he bought this rug at the bizarre in 1957. My father spoke Arabic so we spent a lot of time haggling for the best rug. I remember being very tired during the hunt for the perfect rug. It's been used sparingly throughout the years because it is such an amazing piece. We will miss it very much."
