Hand-knotted antique polonaise rug description: originating from India circa 1890-1900, this antique rug connotes a transitional rug design, both celebrated among the most sought-after lineages of antique Indian rugs and seldom seen in this large size with such comfortable colorways. On the design: The subtle accent in the field and border brings out the curvaceous, graceful sense of movement this particular antique rug exemplifies among the renowned traits of its family; playing naturally with the equally subtle peach accent in the notes for a skillful negotiation between subdued beauty and intricate, elegant aesthetic. On the condition: In good condition, with only mild, muted wear in the field consistent with the age of this piece. Well suited in size and sensibility to main dining rooms, main living rooms, grand halls, and similarly discerning projects welcoming a near palace sized rug of this quality.
