Summary
A Cabristan rug (c.1840-1850). Reds/blues/beige central panel with 'Snowflake' motif and triple geometric border. (Rug expert's comments on separate sheet 'A good Shirvan large rug with two rows of 'effulgent stars' interspersed with other motifs. Generally in low pile but nowhere threadbare. Edges largely good but with very small damage. Edge patch at one end. Some loss of pile just starting at bottom which should be stopped'.
