World Class Chinese Carpet Rarity.

Second of three fine Chinese hand loomed, larger sized carpets, originally from a South Hampton estate, a few high value rugs from European and NY sources. This great one, of near to mid century. If info were provable, the cost to the family was over $8000, and seeing the wonderful quality and condition of this superb carpet, it is certainly believable. Richest, deep full virgin wools, a rare deep tangerine ground color, its white bossed calligraphy set within a natural color border. Said to have occupied a barely used guest room. The condition is impeccable. Lies flat, unlike the images. Deep lush knap, a velvety surface without wear, simply a rare and spectacular rug. 12 feet, 10 inches x 9 ft. 1 inch.
