Manufactured approximately between 1940 and 1950, this rug stands out for its excellent craftsmanship, its glossy, silky wool, and a very pleasant to-the-touch texture, comparable to the finest antique Ziegler carpets.

Its Samarkand design combines traditional symbolic motifs with a minimalist and sophisticated aesthetic, making it a highly decorative and exclusive piece for classic or modern interiors.
