Anthimos Rug small reweave to fieldA Persian rug with all over "boteh" design on the dark brown ground surrounded by multiple borders alternating flower and geometric motifs on red brown base. Details are picked out in a range of colours but the overall effect is of a subdued palette and a quiet richness. A good choice for a pale contemporary interior where a brighter rug might jar. Thin pile but good condition with just some slight fraying to one end. 183 x 104cm
