The refined detail of this magnificent 140-year-old piece is breath-taking, its crystal clarity so dazzling the unadorned crimson field is the only possible foil to this design. With a mandala-like presence an ornate central medallion floats on a constantly striating field, illumined by the generous surface of lanolin rich wool that produces a shimmering effect. Reflecting the floridity at the carpet's center, resplendent corner pieces with swinging urns emanate onto the open field. To complete this classic carpet’s unfettered elegance, a sublime, perfectly drawn calyx and leaf border repeat is silhoutted on a sumptuous red base.
