Like a “souf” carpet, this rug has the background at a lower hight than the floral design of the field
One of the group of Tibetan rugs known for their “checkerboard” design, this one has a wonderful tomato red and light gold color combination that is quite special. There is a slight bit of wear in parts of the rug. Circa 1900.
