Artist/Designer: see Additional Information/Description
Additional Information: Heavyweight floor rug in ancient patterns is approximately fifty years old from the Mazari Sharif area of North Afghanistan. Provenance: Personal collection of Saul Barodofsky, a retired expert in Turkish arts and culture. For over thirty years, his import firm Sun Bow Trading Co. provided most of the rugs sold in The Mezzanine Gallery Shop at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to running Sun Bow Trading from 1977 to 2018, Mr. Barodofsky’s professional career included personally selecting rugs and artifacts for major US collections and co-founding an educational site on collectible weavings. Ages and origins of rugs are provided by the export, with our gratitude for their time and expertise.
