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 Hadi Maktabi Gallery. Among the rarest types of antique Heriz are those with calligraphic cartouches of nastaliq poetry running round them. This is one of a pair that I bought a few years apart, each on a different continent! I love it when the Universe throws me such a happy coincidence. They were made in the same workshop by the same hand, sharing the same medallion and Mahi patterning (unusual for Heriz) as well as the poetry and the ‘turtle’ border. Both are woven on woolen warps, a sign of significant age. 355 x 294 Circa 1860 Stay tuned for more details this week!
