ANTIQUE PERSIAN TABRIZ HAND KNOTTED RUG, SLIGHTLY DISTRESSED – 9.5 x 12.0, 287cm x 366cm - Antique Persian Tabriz rug was hand knotted in Iran of 100% natural wool and has a cotton foundation. The rug is 90+ years old, has medium to low wool piles and is in excellent condition for its age, though slightly distressed. Beautiful colors with excellent quality. This rug is showing signs of abrash (fading) due to the use of antiquated vegetable dyes. No holes or repairs, nice and soft. This rug was acquired from an established rug merchant. Clean and ready to be enjoyed. Recent embargoes by the U.S. against Iranian goods should cause the value of these rugs to increase.
