- Not an antique, this rug was woven in the early '90's for the Woven Legends Co., one of the first to re-introduce hand spun wool and natural dyes to the decorative rug market. Their goal was not to be slaves to exact replication, but rather to borrow from the past and allow the weavers to display their own creative talents. The design is based on a NW Persian carpet of the late 19th C. known as a "Bakshaish". This carpet has relaxed a bit from it's early newness creating a more pleasing character and the beginning of patina on the wool.
