Allahabad

<p><span>A wholly authentic and wonderfully conceived interpretation of the classic Hamedan pattern associated with the village rugs of Northern Persia is here employed with notable flair in a close all-over arrangement which stresses the intricacy and elegance of the design. An evocatively muted tonal approach is entirely faithful to the traditional style, as is the admirably well-spaced border of meandering 'turtle' palmettes. An Allahabad item of immense decorative potential in one of the most distinctive of traditional village designs. Professionally cleaned. The fringes are slightly uneven.</span></p>
