Sold Out! 8' 2" x 12' 4" 249cm x 376cm Circa 1850 medallion and spandrals incorporate elements of city carpets in their outlining, with elegant trefoils extending into the field. The meandering leaf and blossom main border, traditional to Bakshaish rugs, is drawn with unusually graceful lines. Poetic verse in flowing calligraphy fills pillars that frame the medallion.
