The geometric lattice scheme and the wide, almost three-dimensional Greek fret border that distinguishes this rare antique Mongolian rug are inspired by the early carpets of the Ningxia region. The exclusive use of undyed natural wool, ivory and two different brown hues is typical of Mongolia’s carpets. It lends the piece a chromatic minimalism that is especially appealing to the aesthetic sense of our times. This rug’s mint condition allows us to fully appreciate the beauty of Mongolian carpets at its pinnacle.
