An antique Indian Lahore carpet. The soft madder ground of this monumental Lahore displays a complex, multi-layer palmette, cloud band and arabesque pattern squarely in the classical Indo-Persian tradition. Slightly smaller palmettes and geometric spearhead cypresses accent the middle blue main border. A magnificent carpet for a big, lushly furnished room, this Lahore is finely woven with a medium height pile for extra-long use.
