Approx. 4'2" x 6'3" hand-knotted wool tribal rug with a bold serrated central medallion on a raspberry-red field, flanked by inky navy panels packed with small floral motifs. The outer border is fantastic – a lively procession of stylised animals in ivory, teal and rust – giving the piece a real folk-art, storybook feel that works beautifully with castlecore, boho and maximalist interiors. It’s a great size for a living room, under a small dining table or to anchor a bed or reading nook.

Likely woven in the Caucasus region or neighbouring Northwest Middle Eastern highlands in the mid-20th century, this rug has a wool pile on a cotton foundation with a supple handle and pleasing weight. The dyes show attractive abrash, particularly through the reds and blues, adding depth and movement to the design.

Condition is good, lived-in vintage. There is age-related wear to the pile with some lower areas, a few tiny old repairs, and some unevenness and fraying to the fringes and selvedges, plus scattered marks and colour variation typical of an older tribal rug. No major holes or structural issues – clean, characterful and ready to use.
