Antique Kashkuli Qashqai rug with floral boteh design on a scarce ivory ground.

The rug has even wear with medium / low pile. The are a few old re-weaves to the ivory ground, these are shown in the images but are blended well. The rug is of very fine weave with a very floppy handle typical of the earliest examples.
The rug has been hand washed and is ready for use or display. The rug is suitable for light domestic use.
A superb collectors display item.
