14' X 13" Antique 'Khan' Carpet Border Fragment [RR-0082]

Antique 'Khan' Carpet Border Fragment. SW Afghanistan. Chakhansur. Late 19th Century. We can only imagine what the full carpet looked like. This complete main border fragment, end to end, now represents it. Madder red has turned to a glowing copper on lustrous wool highlighting the main archaic border motif. 5 colors. 13.5” x 14’0”. Carefully hand washed. No comparable example.
