This piece is an excellent example that you do not have to pay a lot of money to buy a genuine handmade antique Persian rug. The Minakhani design is quite unusual in a Zanjan rug. The blue background makes the flowerheads stand out in the field, and the cream border lifts the whole piece. Saturated colours with high-quality wool and natural dyes. This cheerful piece is easy to place and would brighten up an entrance or a corridor. It is low in places with some tinting but a very great value for money piece.

Size: 197cm x 101cm / 6'5"ft. x 3'3"ft.
