Persia, Early 20th Century

A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Essentially circular, with irregular faceted edges, this all-red piece displays a distinct bitonal abrash area. Four stem-and-flower sprays cradle a central openwork medallion of eight radiating petals with a rosette center. The openwork border features fourfold rosettes and carnations. This piece is best suited as a table cover rather than a floor covering.
