A vintage Persian village rug from the area around Zanjan, belonging to the group often known in the carpet trade as Mussul rugs. Such pieces were woven from memory, frequently by settled Shahsavan weavers, and preserve an appealing freedom of drawing. Decades of use and washing have muted its colours and given this small wool-on-cotton rug a warm decorative character.
