1940's European Hand Knotted Rug, 9x12 - "Heart of Europe"
HEART OF EUROPE 1940'S HAND KNOTTED RUG
A genuine, room-size, older vintage, hand-knotted, European rug adds color, warmth, and timeless charm and to complement any decor style.
This very unusual artwork for the floor just might be your dream rug! It features a number of geometric and botanical design motifs, including hearts, fleur de lis, vases, blossoms, tendrils and other more. The weavers artfully arranged the design motifs against a variegated deep crimson field color. The other colors include a harmonious range of blues, light yellow, white, olive brown, pink, etc.
My research indicates that weavers in Europe created this very unusual, hand-knotted rug, c. 1940's. The country of origin was perhaps Austria, Spain or Hungary.
The rug is in fair antique condition. The design and colors are vibrant and stunning. It has no holes, rips, stains or odors. The pile is worn in some spots, though, and we hand-stitched small patches from a 1940's Persian rug to repair four small damaged areas. Please see the photos for details.

The 'grace period' for returns depends on how you bought the rugs -
