Noor Persian Rug
Did you know the oldest known Persian rug dates back to before Helen of Troy? Imagine if Paris had chosen a rug instead of Helen! Not only would it have been easier to carry home, but its beauty would have lasted centuries longer. Well, you don’t have to make the same mistake poor Paris made. One look at this stunning, hand-woven Mashad carpet from Noor Rugs and you’ll fall in love for real. Soft, finely knotted, with loads of slimi (the intricate labyrinth of vines and stylized floral motifs) and lachak (scarf-like arches), this is art begging to be touched and admired and used. So take it home. Lay it down. Walk all over it and feel its warmth beneath your feet. Gaze upon the face that stops a thousand slips. Size: 4’ x 6’. (May be exchanged for another rug of equal value.)
Donated by: Noor Rugs
Value: $6,500.
