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 Claremont Rug Company. Featured Antique Art Rug of the Day⠀ An antique High Collectible 4' 7" x 7' 1" — 3rd Quarter, 19th Century North Central Persian Tehran Rug.⠀ ("Spring/Summer 2019 Print Catalog, p.23")This is a superlative example of the elegant, yet effervescent 19th century Tehran style that is so rarely found that even few connoisseurs are familiar with it.

The diversity of flora and fauna is supported by an equally varied natural palette, adding exotic shades of mulberry, moss, garnet and robin’s egg blue to this astoundingly rich presentation. With virtuosic inspiration, the axial centerline, rather than continue with a single stalk up the middle, opens allowing flowering boughs to divide as they ascend upward reflecting nature's unpredictability. ⠀ Learn more about the rich history of antique Persian Tehran weaving, link in comments.
