This antique Shahsavan is an expressive piece of nomadic spirit hand-knotted by the northeastern Persian tribes of the 19th century. It is made up of four connected square sections of differing sizes taking up the entire space of the field with a serrated finish, each hosting a variety of spontaneous versions of hook motifs that at times turn into human forms and rectilinear medallions that also look like geometric floral heads. The field is surrounded by three guard strips, each decorated with linked stylized floral motifs. The contrasting and vivid colors of ivory, navy blue, red, jade green and peach used throughout imbue the rug with immense energy and vibrancy.The rug has soft medium wool pile. It is in good condition and very clean.
