Material: Charming Mid-20th C. Armenian Weave Vintage Talesh. Made of all natural, vegetable dye, hand woven, hand spun, softest baby lamb's wool pile on cotton foundation.
Country of Origin: Iran
Auction Estimate: $750.00 - $950.00
Note: Talesh and its inhabitants date back to the 13th century and certainly much earlier. Armenians have indeed been part of the Talesh community forever. One of the enticing characteristics of Talesh rugs is that they feature a broad spectrum of color palettes, unmatched in the rug industry. This lovely piece with its strong geometric design and unusual yet charming color combination is a perfect example of that. It is intriguing to mention that these vibrant and charming pieces are woven by the women of the household with very little education, if any at all. Creases are due to fold and are not a defect.
