A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The dusty rose field features an all-over, close pattern of stylized vases, short stems, and floretted branches, all detailed in rust, cherry, straw-ecru, light blue, and dark blue. The navy strip-style main border, adapted from 16th-century Persian court carpets, showcases ragged strapwork connecting oval palmettes, with supporting cloud bands filling in. This is a highly unusual and versatile format, with an exceptional border.
