Here the design elements in gold with violet accents are so closely configured that the dark ground emerges as little more than an outline. The gold ground vinescroll border provides an effective contrast in color, as does its acanthus vinescroll motif, reflecting another rare Karabagh tendency – a taste for western European design elements. to Wish List | Email this Rug | Request More Info Style: Karabagh Origin: Caucasus Size: 3. ft 08 in x 14 ft 05 in (1.12 m x 4.39 m)   « Less
