This rug is 80+ years old and has medium wool piles and is in excellent condition for its age. Beautiful colors made with excellent quality. This shade of red is a telltale sign that this is a Mashad rug. The artist’s name is woven into the rug which sets it apart from similar rugs for design and quality. This rug was acquired from an established rug merchant. Clean and ready to be enjoyed. Recent embargoes by the U.S. against Iranian goods should cause the value of these rugs to increase.
