Art Deco rug, hand-knotted from wool, cashmere & silk featuring a blend of traditional motifs and Western Art Deco aesthetics.

These are set against a relatively open, multi-toned background of light blue and gold/beige. The borders are simple and geometric compared to more traditional Persian rugs.
