Rare tribal carpet that is over 200 years old with outstanding natural dyes and an extremely eye-catching Kufic border in pristine early form. The size is very unusual for both Caucasian and tribal rugs. It is published in "The Persian Carpet: The Forgotten Years 1722-1872" by Hadi Maktabi as an integral link between historical Ottoman/Safavid carpets and Caucasian production circa 1800.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
