Persian Rug from Stores Around the World

This enchanting “story carpet” presents a masterful rendition of the beloved “Garden Compartment” design of the Central Persian Bakhtiari tribe. Its many individually decorated compartments evoke a great variety of botanical scenes drawn in exquisite detail. Although woven over a century ago, like the great majority of our turn of the 20th-century rugs, it offers heavy pile and will be extremely forgiving of heavy floor use. Its contrasting ivory main border brings a fresh, non-traditional color combination to this resplendent folk art antique carpet. This unique century-old Oriental art carpet is in outstanding, heavy-pile condition. 14’ 0” x 20’ 2” 427cm x 615cm Circa 1920 Just to show Persian carpet art

Among the rarely seen group of area size Serapi rugs, we seldom see another with such mesmerizing beauty and excellent, heavy-pile condition as this jewel-toned 5x6 piece. Its scale of design alone quite innovatively uses the regional pattern language to great success. Eschewing the grand Serapi centerpiece, here an undersized rosette medallion centers the overscale blossoming vinery and unusual anchor motifs in the corner pieces. The heavily ornamented border suite provides a highly effective counterbalance to the spaciousness of the field pattern, as harmony is created through echoing its blues, greens, roses, and golds, leaving the carnelian red to the field alone.

Very fine knotting with a resultant mind-boggling detail and astonishing naturally-dyed jewel tones combine to create a fresh interpretation of this long-esteemed Persian carpet style. This piece from the Persian Court tradition offers a symphony of beautifully-combined colors that fill highly faceted blossoms of great variety. In each quadrant, differing scales and structures of the flowerheads are infinitely beguiling! The medallion itself is specially conceived, its interior less defined by concentric layers than typical, revealing instead a single azure blue center supporting attendant palmettes. The border emphasizes expertly rendered rose petals reflecting the European shading technique that intermix inventively with delicate traditional Persian silk floral designs. This piece with its hard-to-find small room size dimensions is in very good condition and offers an equally rare level of formal ambiance. Final review! In the purchase phase! Detailed details in the not so distant future!

This majestic 19th century masterwork in the renowned Sultanabad style is ennobled by its glowing auburn ground and painstakingly sculpted drawing. A captivating kaleidoscopic centerpiece is quintessentially refined by equally stunning secondary medallions. Revealing circular transparent medallions, niched square medallions and, at the corners, echoes of the main medallion this time based in ivory together create unmatched splendor in this completely unique and magnificent carpet. Achieving an overall sense of perfect design proportions and color placement, an original patterning of golden cypress trees enclose glowing weeping willows on a radiant Aegean blue background rippled with abrash color shifts. Equally visionary, the unique, architectural main border suggests a monumental wall protecting the garden. Amplifying the grandeur of this piece are exquisite tones of Venetian red, golden sand, pine green, honey, celadon and cinnabar, all magically patinaed with time.

“CYPRESS TREE” Perhaps the most beloved, and difficult to execute, motifs in Persian carpets is the “happiness Tree” design, known in the west as “prayer tree.” In the Eastern world, this pattern is called “life Tree” and it is often presented holding within it a flower in full bloom, symbolizing its potential to burst forth with life. This stunningly intricate, sophisticated Turkoman area rug is a woven ode to this design, remarkably finely knotted with a panoply of graceful pods, brilliantly commingled and filled with expressive greens and vivid rose tones.

Within interlocking stepped medallions, jewel-shaped pendants grow to the vertical corners of the diamond chain as though pushing them into shape. There, and in the lapis blue field, opposingly postured wild fowl (known as 'murghi' working tirelessly to feed their young) vie for precedence amidst a diverse landscape of apotropaic elements scattered across the field designed to bestow good fortune upon whoever possesses it. Whirling pinwheel florets, tiny S-shaped cloudbands, sprouting boteh (Seeds of Life), and other spontaneous ornaments make up the panoply of tertiary motifs that give this rug its power.

This strongly desirable carpet radiates a winning folk art drama through a combination of skillful draftsmanship and soothing 20th-century colors. Its intriguing primitive quality harkens to earlier Serapi patterns with a spontaneous exuberance highly prized in this ancient village style. Its commanding medallion begins with a square centerpiece surrounded by an “animal skin” motif (local folklore holds that the earliest “Serapi” carpets had actual tanned leather hides as “medallions”). This is further enveloped by eight overscale petals adorned with abstract botanical elements. Trefoilesque fan pendants extend along the central axis to sweep alongside a network of budding vinery that spreads like a roadmap between the floral forms revealing ingenious asymmetries. Great swaths of skillfully applied color fluxes called abrash imbue the organically derived hues with an arresting beauty that has become more significant and mellowed with time. A gently patinated surface of a highly durable medium-height pile exposes the glistening quality of the oily mountain wool used in the construction of this handsome carpet. Final review!
