Equally early and elegant as lot 144, this Transylvanian double niche rug has the unusual feature of bi-coloured spandrels. The upper is deep indigo blue and the lower a rich golden yellow.
The sparsely decorated rich madder red field and spandrels, a style few other Transylvanian rugs show, emphasises the ornamentation. Equally of note are the well-proportioned star and cartouche major border; the minor borders which feature an unusual style of drawing of the trefoil design; and the original wide kelims at both ends.
