Description

An exquisite design and elegant soft rare colours on this antique Mosulipitan carpet woven in the late 19th century.  A  variety of blue dyes are used for the main field colour and outer border to frame this beautiful all over design.  Scrolling flowers and leaf design in the main border.  This carpet uses, gold tones, pale pinks with darker burgundy we see in the Agra carpets of India.

. . .

Condition wise it is very good, with only small areas of lower pile in places but in general the pile is high and durable.  No repairs to the end/fringes or sides which are all original.  The dyes have faded considerably over the last 100 plus years, giving this carpet a wonderful palette.

These carpets are based upon European influence and Western taste, a decision made by the weavers following the incredible explosion in demand for carpets in both the United States and Europe during the nineteenth century.

We have been visiting customers all over the UK from London to Aberdeen, Ireland and Europe over the last 25 years.  If you would like us to show you this carpet and alternatives in-situ it would be a pleasure to show it to you.  Request a home visit or contact us to arrange a day and time.
