Nadia Rug Small areas of old mothA large Quashgai rug from Fars in southwest Persia. Second half 20th century. After weaving, it was treated in order to produce pleasingly subtle colours from the original dyes which can be seen as brighter on the verso and this produces some colour variation across the rug.
