Description

Nice example of the 'Medallion palmette' field design on this fine old 19th century Caucasian prayer rug. Coming from the North Eastern shores of the Caspian Sea with a reputation for fine weavings, this lovely prayer has great drawing and very attractive, natural dyes. Showing some old repairs and in need of a deep clean, it is very well priced. A chance for a bargain, either to use on the floor or display on your wall.
