Selvedges and finishes are all in very good condition, with no damage. The pile is slightly low in a few places, but overall the rug is in very good condition. No stains or discoloration. A nice size, with soft colors that would suit any interior.

Acquired in the early 1980s from a Persian dealer in the Netherlands and always kept in private ownership.
