It frames the rug with this fantastic repeating rosette \/ snowflake \/ sunburst geometry that gives the whole piece a kind of tribal restraint. It’s decorative, yes, but also severe in a very satisfying way. The contrast between the tidy interior grid and the more forceful outer border is exactly what keeps the whole rug from getting too sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2490\" data-end=\"2503\"\u003eAnd the wear?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2505\" data-end=\"2513\"\u003ePerfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2515\" data-end=\"2809\"\u003eThis rug has enough age and abrasion to soften the whole composition into something incredibly livable.
