ANTIQUE #SA1164750

Khamseh Rug

£2,800    $3,753    €3,280
A very fine example of an antique Khamseh rug in very good condition. Two diamonds filled with a random assortment of motifs float over a striped background. The diamonds are quite wonky and obscure the stripes in a way that creates great depth. I often talk about depth caused by these optical illusions and I think this demonstrates it better than any I have seen. The wool is silky soft, the colours saturated and vibrant, altogether a wonderfully beautiful piece.
 
Very good condition. The pile in the centre is more worn than the borders but still very acceptable.
