The wide red border carries bold ivory and blue palmettes between soft green vine stripes — the classic Sultanabad-district layout that suits large dining rooms, great rooms and open living spaces. The worn areas give it the soft, distressed look designers seek for antique oversized rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition (please read):\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a genuine antique and shows its age. The field has large areas of low pile worn down to the knot foundation, most visibly through the lower-left and center of the field and in patches near the top; the borders show wear as well, most at one lower corner. A visible old repair runs across the lower border. The back carries old cloth reinforcement strips sewn on along the borders and field from past repairs. Width varies slightly from one end to the other (12' to 12'4\"), the ends are bound, and the sides have been overcast. Handmade rugs, especially older ones, can be slightly crooked and vary in pile height, length and width from area to area. Each rug is photographed flat from both ends, since its color shifts depending on which way you look at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vacuum gently without a beater bar, rotate yearly, and use a premium rug pad, custom cut, to protect an antique foundation.
