This is a gorgeous semi-antique Persian rug, which we have enjoyed and loved in our home - it's now time to pass it on to someone who will love it in theirs!

Genuine Persian rugs are world famous for their exceptional quality, intricate designs and patterns, and rich, vibrant colors. This rug is made of 100% hand dyed wool over a cotton foundation, and is hand knotted with approximately 118 knots per square inch, guaranteeing that with proper care, it will last many generations. The pattern of this rug is called Yazd*. It was purchased from a highly respected antique rug dealer in New York and was appraised at over $3000.

*Information from the antique rug dealer:
"Yazd rugs are among the most gorgeous of the Persian rug family. Their stunning colors and intricate patterns remind us of the ancient beautiful rugs which were woven in central Iran many centuries ago. The number of colors used in Yazd rugs is endless. However a rich burgundy is usually the predominant one and other commons colors are different shades of blue, green and ivory. Yazds have traditional floral patterns and they bear a striking resemblance to the legendary rugs of the ciry of Kashan. A truly magnificent work of art, no words can describe the utmost beauty of the famous rugs of Yazd."
