One of a kind--a phrase frequently overused but not in this case. The sheer size, scale and awesomeness of it all is truly mind blowing. Carpets of this vintage from the mid 1800s are never more than half the area of this. Made for a Khan of the tribe, probably of the Timuri clan, the carpet has survived in superb condition with a charming oxidation to the browns. The reds and blues pop out magnificently and the overall feel is truly special. For Baluch collectors, this is a must.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
