Mir – 294 x 192 cm – oriental carpet in beautiful
This is a hand-knotted, Mir rug, made of durable, natural materials. Imperfections in the patterns and shape make this rug unique and emphasise its authentic and traditional character. Mir rugs are knotted in the mountainous area in and around Arak, in western Iran. Characteristic for a Mir is the contemporary design called Boteh or Paisley pattern: a droplet shape with the tip pointing in one direction. A Mir often has a continuous pattern, but some have a medallion and corner patterns. Mir rugs are durable rugs made of wool on a cotton warp (bobbin thread), they often are thick, full rugs with a remarkably high durability. Later on, Mir rugs were also made in India, in which case they are called oriental rugs. This is a used rug, these often become more beautiful and richer in character as a result of the natural ageing process.Size:Approx. 294 x 192 cm.Main colour:Cream.Accent colours:Brown, red, liver, brick and blue shades.Specifications: Rich shine.Signs of wear:A few small stains.Please see the photos for your own assessment.This lot will be shipped by registered post with Track & Trace.X625.
