This is a really gorgeous, high quality,Semi-Antique, SABSEVAR Oriental rug that was hand-knotted in the 1950's in TURKEY. It took substantial man hours to produce this rug (3000-3400), and resulted in a design and detail that are simply not available in newer rugs. The rug was woven with 200+ knots per square inch, which is also considered to be a very high quality weave.
This rug features amazing detail, exceptional design and beautiful colors. The yarns were dyed with vegetable dyes which are considered to be the best quality dyes for a deeper richer look than the harsh, flat look of newer chemical dyes. This SABSEVAR will be an impressive addition for your home. The exact size is 12.9x9.7 (so almost 13x10 in size). It is in excellent condition with no wear spots or flaws. The field is a dark cranberry red with a larger starburst central medallion. The outer layer consists of 16 lotus leaves in cranberry outlined in ivory, followed by progressively inner surrounding circular elements in persian blue, dark salmon, and then ivory. It is a magnificent and impressive design.
We used this to stage an upper bracket home that has now sold. (We take the rugs back after the staging and sell them for a portion of their cost to reduce the staging fees.) At retail this rug would retail for about $6500 But it is Just $1475 here since the staging fee has already paid for the bulk of the cost.
