Circa: 1960’s

Originally purchased in Melbourne at a modern design auction this Flokati is a unique super large and rare retro rug with thick long shag pile. The rug is a creamy white colour. The rug is a massive 2.5 meters x 2.0 meters.

It would be hard to find a Flokati as large as this still surviving the 60’s these days. Flokati’s were super trendy in the 50’s and 60’s because they blended in so well with the mid century modern style of furniture and décor.

This rug is in excellent condition with no stains or marks; the rug smells totally natural with no unpleasant odours.

Flokati's are traditional Greek rugs that have been made for many years in smaller mountain regions. They really came into everyday use in NZ and overseas in the late 1950's increasing in popularity over the years since.

The natural colour of a Flokati rug is off-white; this one is true to the original colours. The entire rug is wool. Once the rug is weaved Flokati’s are traditionally placed in a cold river to enhance the large shag fleece they are famous for. They are still being made in rural Greece and exported worldwide.

Dimensions 2.5 meters x 2.0 meters.

Pick up is Eden Terrace.
