Semi-Antique Persian beauty right here! Thick and plush with gorgeous abrash and coloration.  Warm and cool yin yang.  Terracotta, earthy browns, fabulous sapphire blue, a range of verdant greens, saffron, khaki.  Now this is a true two tone rug...the view from one end is deep in saturation and the view from the opposite end is more pale and muted.  Either view is pure pleasure.  Two rugs in one really.  These different readings on the rug is caused by the manner in which a thick full pile lies down in one direction as a result of the handknotting and the full sheep wool.  Its awesome!  We really love this one
