Picture a warm, deep camel-colored background, reminiscent of the color of a camel’s fur. Across this background, you’ll find a delightful pattern of stylized flower heads or miniature palmettes.

This rug is not just a floor covering but a piece of art that encapsulates the finest traditions of Northwest Persian craftsmanship.
