The natural ivory wool background allows the reds, greens and pale blues in the tribal floral motifs to really pop and give this rug plenty of life. The pile height is very good indeed, with a finer weave and good quality wool it has retained most of its appearance from when it was woven 100 years ago. Even the original finishing end is in tact and visible.
