Beautifully composed and created hand made large hooked rug. I'm pretty sure this was hand made between 1900 and 1920 based on the age and provenance of the other items that I found literally right beside this rug. This rug is unique and interesting and offers a classic Persian design and Moorish motifs. The central medallion shows the Moorish or Moroccan influences in the scalloped designs that almost look Church-like. I think this is an extremely appealing and unique composition, and I've rarely come across hooked rugs with these influences. The large rug is in FAIR condition, with no odors, no stains, the pile is in thick and decent condition, there is one small area of weakness if the rug is held up vertically to the light where a hole is just barely starting to form. The main problem is the loss of perimeter strands, as you can see with the many loose hooked loops. These could be trimmed off, or they could be used to repair the perimeter. The store rug measures about 45" long by 30" wide. Nice size for a mounted wall hanging. In fair condition.
