James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this piece to the 1890s.
Like a much larger rug that has been shrunk down to this wonderful diminutive size, everything about it hits the right note; The exquisite light blue ground colour, the two pairs of necking lovebirds, the repeating medallion design that runs under the border in an ever lasting eternity and the wonderful proportions, almost square with a broad, handsome border.
