Rug #1813 is in new condition. This rug's drawing is charming with the bulbous armored personnel carriers. The red field with ochre, burgundy, and grey accents works beautifully. The bullet - border hints at Afghan figures in local dress and caps. The small rifles are drawn in a style typical of Baluchi rugs from the 1980's and not typically found in Red Rugs
Wool: The wool used in this rug is typical of Red Rugs. It is a commercially spun mid-quality wool which wears well, but is not as soft or lustrous as higher grade wool. Sheen: Moderate sheen.
