Additional Features

• This 12x17 vintage rug is an exceptionally rare oversized carpet from one of the most special breeds of mid-century Pakistani weaving—the only one of its kind in this astounding size, made with hand-knotted wool circa 1950-1970.
• On the Design:
• This mid-century rug features one of the finest executions of the time-honored paisley motif for its period, let alone for its scale—enjoying hues of beige-brown with teal blue accents in a particularly fine repeat throughout the field. The brightness of color in this piece is another rare beauty, as its field is a crisp off-white, among one of the brightest natural whites ever seen in a classic and a natural complement in the positive-negative element it lends the teal, beige-brown, and red tones throughout field and border alike. Admirers of the craft will know paisley rugs to hold a special place in the most celebrated lineages of vintage and antique rugs, meant to exhibit a weaver's deft hand and skill in fine repetition. To wit, this rug's fabulous execution is all-the-more impressive considering its grand size; a regal, rustic treasure like few others.|
• Condition:
• This vintage palace rug has received a light wash and distressing in its field and border, both even throughout the piece and a natural complement to its design; a masterpiece in good condition, ready for the floor.
