Today Mongolian carpets are highly appreciated for the geometric character of their design and for their neutral palette, which is often centred on an ivory/dark colour combination. Here the geometric medallion and spandrels are balanced by a repeat pattern of stylised flowers alternated to butterflies. The composition is framed by a wide and powerful border ornated by large shou ideograms (Chinese symbols for long life) in its two versions.

Condition:FairRepaired: Some of the oxidised charcoal wool has been repiled and there are scattered small reweaves. I will be happy to provide you with detailed pictures of all the repairs, which were done about 15-20 years ago. Wear consistent with age and use. The pile is uniformly low. It is nevertheless in very usable condition although perhaps not in a highly trafficked area.
