This is the details on the rug:- We have sold genuine Persian (made in Iran) rugs on Trademe for a couple of years. We only sell genuine, pure wool, hand knotted rugs. This auction is for a wonderful, semi antique, Persian Isfahan rug 303cms x 417cms. Dating to around the 1940s but graded as 'Excellent'. Pure wool on a cotton foundation. Guarenteed Hand knotted. The colours are closest to the second picture. Flash has been used in the main photo to show detail. The colours are more gentle when under normal light. Condition:- Graded as excellent and professionally cleaned prior to leaving Iran. I have included the three pictures with the rug. gurks attached the following image(s):
