Talish
Rugs with diagonal stripes are often attributed to Gendje but closer inspection shows this to be quite finely knotted and along with the proportions places it as a Talish rug. The diagonals filled with small boteh create depth as they slip under the border. The main border is strong and has some really lovely colour with a noticeable abrash in the blue and is bordered itself by two reciprocal minor borders. This is a high quality rug in every respect with soft wool and a well articulated design due to it’s high knot density.
