Simple and Beautiful! That best describes this Saraband Gallery or Corridor Carpet from the late 1800s. It has a beautiful allover paisley pattern design on a brick red color field.

There are seven borders with different designs and colors including royal blue, brick red, pale yellow, navy blue, and pale green.
