is very unusual. It is old but in perfect condition with full glossy pile and original ends and sides. The weave on the reverse confirms that this rug is from the region the small town of Karadja and the border design is the same as is used on most Karadja pieces. An Iranian expert has placed the rug as probably being woven in the once prosperous nearby village of Qizapan decades ago. The village has now declined and the 2006 census shows it had 25 families and 92 inhabitants. The designs in the field consist of a lily flower, cut into half to show all the leaves and flowers. This is a classic ”Shah Abbass” design, hundreds of years old and typically found in fine Persian city rugs. Reference 3321. Size 150 x 115 cms., or approximately 5 x 4 ft. Euros 685.
