Seller's Notes:Hand woven in wool originating from Afghanistan circa 1950-1960, this vintage Kilim connotes a mid-century adaptation of a vase floral pattern in a distinctly rich burgundy and crimson red colorway, playing naturally into earth tones of brown completing the portrait of rich, naturalist imagery. Connoisseurs may note a mild resemblance to 16th- and 17th-Century Persian vase patterns in the lattice depiction, though the more rectilinear inclinations of this pattern draws on vintage Turkish sensibilities with a variety of arguable cultural nods. Designers will note the interception of the subtle, tasteful abrash of the field brown with the pattern and the intriguing way the dual senses of movement play together, offering a slightly more lively look into an otherwise historic, very mature appeal seen in this traditional rug. About the Collection: Antique rugs have been in Josh’s resume since he began in the industry almost 40 years ago when he was already recognized for one of the largest oriental rug collections in the United States. Each piece in the internationally recognized volume was hand picked for rarity, and of course aesthetic and beauty, now complementing one of the widest varieties of Persian rug and Turkish rug collections with the utmost attention to individuality and care. Because of Josh’s position in the wholesale rug industry he’s been responsible for promoting a number of collections throughout history, from breathtaking signature Tabriz, Sultanabad, Kerman Lavar, Agra, and Oushak classics to the more unsung jewels of the luxury industry. Vintage has also been synonymous with who we are since our beginning, particularly for our unparalleled Kilim collection, but with the rise of Mid Century collection the term vintage carpet has become very popular—especially exciting because often times many of the vintage carpets have also been treated, washed, dyed over, sheared, and modified—and has created a very successful category. We’re especially very proud of our vintage Kilims and Turkish rugs curated for our expansive collection of both area rugs and runners alike. Rug & Kilim maintains our own facilities for cleaning and restoration exclusively for carpets we’ve sold to ensure their lasting beauty and care long after a piece leaves our collection.
