This new war rug is in perfect condition. It is expertly knotted and uses beautiful colors. The colors in this war rug are unusual, especially for Baghlani war rugs. The colors together go beautifully together. The light outlines are pinkish rose, the brightest red is pomegranate, there are also ochre and plums. These are not the colors usually seen in Afghan rugs. The field color is the nicest blue we have seen in a Baghlani rug. All the colors are rich and unique.
Furthermore, in reference to Baghlani rugs, this is a unique pattern. We have never seen these medallions in any Afghan or Persian rug. The only other Baghlani rug with medallion is number 79. The half medallions sticking in from the border are nice and also very unusual. The expected design is rows of weapons with maybe some floral motifs like this. (Sorry about the lousy photos)The typical Baghlani patterning is seen in the rows of weapons running along the top and bottom. Lastly, the border design is the nicest seen on Baghlani rugs.
Wool: The wool in this rug is typical of Baghlani rugs. It is thick and dense and somewhat dry. Sheen: Very good if not super glossy. Handle: Firm, floppy and solid. Selvedge: Two cord black and blue.
Fringe: Half inch kilim, overhand knots, with long cotton fringe. There is some bleeding into the fringe. Pile: 4mm, the bestWarp: cottonWeft: two shoot black cotton.
Warp Depression:Very consistent 45 degrees
