Lot #2: JAN RATH DESIGN HAND KNOTTED WOOL / SILK CARPET - BORO PATTERN

This stunner of a carpet in shades of amethyst, lavender, mauve and varied grey tones is fabulous, unique, and one of a kind. Pictures do not do it justice - we can use the word IMPORTANT here, we think.

Jan Kath is an award-winning textile artist working with carpet weavers in Kathmandu (Nepal) using strict Fair Trade and Labour standards, and using high-quality raw materials such as hand-carded, hand-spun wool from the Tibetan highlands, Chinese silk, and nettle fibres, which are dyed using natural and tested quality dyes from Switzerland - thus giving his carpets a depth and quality that is unsurpassed. 

This area rug has been in use, and as such needs professional cleaning. There are assorted spots and stains pictured as best possible, which we have not attempted to remove, but which in our carefully considered opinion do not seem to be beyond the abilities of skilled treatment. Even so, they do not detract from the rug's impact or function due to the nature of the pattern. 

We encourage you to look at the work that Jan Rath is known for, along with other Boro editions on his site, and consider the condition but also the opportunity, and bid accordingly: https://jan-kath.com/
