I have been dealing in antique Oriental Rugs for over 50 years, and not many rugs make my heart go pitter-patter, but this one does. It had all of the charms of the old school when small village weavers made rugs not for export but for their own use. They would only sell one of their own when they really needed money for some important reason. This is one of those pieces where an accomplished weaver used the best of wool and hand-blended vegetable dyes to create a rug that told a story. The animals in this piece reflected existing domestic pets and livestock. This piece can be called a collector's item. It came from an old estate that was pet-free, smoke-free, and very clean. Some old repairs have been done, especially in the top right-hand corner, as shown in the last two detailed photos; even so, that area is stable and will not pull apart. To see a similar rug made in the same region but of smaller size and not as old as mine on 1stdibs, please cut and paste this address in your browser: https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/rugs-carpets/persian-rugs/tribal-navy-camel-primitive-persian-kurd-runner/id-f_6482403/ Please see the photo for the best padding included, custom cut by me to fit this rug, an added value of over 100 dollars; see the same padding on Amazon:
