A charming antique rug from the Caucuses woven in lovely muted colourful hues, the design featuring a central medallion and bird and plant motifs. The rug shows some obvious signs of ware and has a distressed look but I think that adds to its charm and it has lots of life left in it. Approximately 100 years old.
