Provenance

Purchased Christie’s South Kensington, 28th November 2001, Fine and Oriental Carpets, Lot 35.

Both ends complete with kilim and fringes. Selvedges virtually complete but with minor fraying and losses to the binding cords. Pile is generally good but with minor inactive moth damage in several places. Several spots (stains). Might benefit from cleaning.
