It's a mini rug with a thick, sturdy weave, typical of those from Mashhad. The soft, long pile also gives it a Qashqai-like feel, but the chain pattern on the border confirms its Baluch origin. Its long, narrow size is unusual, making it suitable for placing on a sofa seat. As a vintage rug of 45 years, it shows little wear and tear. There are no noticeable stains, damage, or repairs, making it in mint condition. It's an accent rug that can be used in various ways. ◎ Regarding Products Some items have undergone professional repairs in Iran or at the supplier's location. However, some items are not repaired, prioritizing their appearance, such as when there are no significant issues. Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we may not notice. We purchase items that have been cleaned. However, please note that some sand or pile debris may remain. Also, occasionally, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but they will blend in with use. *Items with severe issues are cleaned domestically during inspection, and if necessary, this is reflected in the price with a description. Finally, regarding the rug itself, there is a unique smell of wool. Measurements are taken in the center, but please understand that there may be errors due to the distortion of hand-woven rugs, shrinkage from water cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant-based dyes. These are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
