Kurdistan antique kelleigh carpet (428 x 211cm)

PRICE ON APPLICATION

428 x 211 cm  //  14ft 1" x 6ft 11"

This antique kelleigh carpet renders beautify the Mina Khani design with its yellow medallion. It has been fully restored by us with rewoven sections faithfully following the original weave. We believe the carpet to be reduced in length from its original length . It was likely once part of a set of three or four carpets ours being the principal central carpet which might have been flanked by two runners and used for the encamped court of a Khan.
