Antique Persian Rug

This Persian rug is in the categories of Persian Rug (Persian Carpet), Soltan Abad Persian Rug (Soltan Abad Persian Carpet) and Antique Persian Rug (Antique Persian Carpet), and it has been introduced and provided by Persian Carpet Collection. Persian Carpet Collection provides a variety of handwoven Persian rugs. As every significant home requires one or more antique carpets on a grand scale, we maintain a plentiful selection in sizes from 11’ x 15’ to 18’ x 30’. One of the many standouts of our current collection of very large carpets is this 170-year-old Sultanabad masterwork with its continually reinvented pattern and endlessly nuanced colors. The patina of great age is magnificent, revealing the profound depth that emerges when these natural craft-brewed dyes have softened for many years. The allover palmette design is remarkably spacious and fitting for a carpet of such expansive dimensions, permitting the viewer to become enveloped in its artistry. Continuing the quiet, gracious warmth of the field, its cobalt-grounded border provides a heightened contrast to the shimmering buttercup, mossy green, taupe and guava highlights expressed in the field. 12’ 9” x 19’ 8” 389cm x 599cm Circa 1850

This Persian rug is in the categories of Persian Rug (Persian Carpet), Heriz Persian Rug (Heriz Persian Carpet) and Antique Persian Rug (Antique Persian Carpet), and it has been introduced and provided by Persian Carpet Collection. At over 170 years old, with a soaring aesthetic presence, this stand-alone Serapi Heriz offers the vastly overscale motifs and extremely generous spacing that is as seldom encountered as it is desired. Within a sparsely ornamented, continually lobed midnight blue-based center medallion are majestic, organically inspired curling leaves and exotic blossoms, and a pair of lotus flowers on expansive stems. At its axis is a stylized sunflower with an entirely unadorned center of iridescent saffron yellow. This splendor is encircled by a slender vermilion red field that features a single, delicate meandering vine. Golden sand-toned corner spandrals expertly counterbalance this strategically aligned centerpiece. Even the traditional Shah Abbas border design based in the same vermilion of the field is completely refreshed, with angular deconstructed forms connecting the viewer with a prized, archetypal aesthetic. The aged colors are extremely magnetic and harmonio. 14’ 8” x 21’ 4” 440 cm x 658 cm 2nd Quarter 19th Century

This Persian rug is in the categories of Persian Rug (Persian Carpet), Tehran Persian Rug (Tehran Persian Carpet) and Antique Persian Rug (Antique Persian Carpet), and it has been introduced and provided by Persian Carpet Collection. Tremendously balanced with meticulous attention to detail and color work, this fascinating piece is the product of a highly dexterous, deeply inspired weaver at the top of her game. Standing tall behind a robust rose bush that houses a cleverly camouflaged “chameleon” bird, a flowering Tree of Life is miraculously laden with a diversity of species, ultimately blooming from the same root system. Every element of the composition is clearly defined on a lightly textured parchment ground. Upon closer inspection, what first appears like additional roses higher in the boughs are actually a pair of nesting birds. Tehran’s signature garnet red leads the hierarchy of scintillating colors in this rug, enhanced by burnished bronze, fuchsia, pale marigold, lagoon green, and veins of lapis blue. The border is an extremely successful avant-garde version of the popular Shah Abbas design with botanical ornamentations that gently melt before the eye and sparkle like stained glass. Treasured for well over a century, this magical rug remains in exceptionally good pile condition. 4’ 8” x 6’ 7” 142cm x 201cm Circa 1900

This Persian rug is in the categories of Persian Rug (Persian Carpet), Farahan Persian Rug (Farahan Persian Carpet), Sarouk Persian Rug (Sarouk Persian Carpet) and Antique Persian Rug (Antique Persian Carpet), and it has been introduced and provided by Persian Carpet Collection. MOHAJERAN SAROUK - Infinitely nuanced craftsmanship and a glowing wool quality permit this turn-of-the-century Persian Mohajeran Sarouk carpet to shine with uncompromised brilliance, bringing its characteristic formal refinement to impressive, expansive dimensions. Reinforced by a ground of deepest indigo, this antique floral oversize carpet features a delicately rendered assortment of elegant garlands and floral bouquets fills a wide reserve with flawless intricacy, each detail uncrowded and painstakingly executed. 11’ 7” x 20’ 9” 353cm x 632cm Circa 1910 The Mohajeran Sarouk carpet, dating from the early 20th century, is arguably the most exquisite antique Sarouk carpet. Mohajeran Sarouk is one of the very few types of Sarouk carpets that are made from the finest wool and brilliant natural dyes. The quality of the wool used to make Mohajeran Sarouk carpets is excellent. This wool is rich in lanolin, and the heavy construction makes Sarouk carpets very durable, typically worn by generations. The most important feature of the Mohajeran Sarouk carpet is the floral and potted pattern, which is inspired by the background design of much older carpets, such as the 19th century Farahan Sarouk carpets, which feature the Lakh and Toranj pattern. Sarouk weavers have made these designs the most well-known and sought-after Iranian carpet designs worldwide.
