5'6" x 8 |
Tabriz rug, workshop weaving from that Azarbayjani city or its environs, 5'6" x 8', from about 1920. Finely woven dense rugs like this are often ascribed to Azarbayjani village weavers, but enough have clear Tabriz workshop inscriptions (as does this one) so that it is clear the whole group comes from controlled environments. In this case, a village design is used that is never seen in rural weaving with this format. The light blue-background border is unusual, but the drawing is traditional. Complete and in very good condition. |
5’6” x 6’6 |
“Senneh” rug, possibly workshop weaving, probably from the city of Sanandaj in southern Iranian Kurdistan, 5’6” x 6’6”, from about 1880-1900. This version of the “Mina Khani” design combined with this coloration are common in workshop carpets woven in Varamin more than a generation later, and are a good illustration of how designs and color use were transferred from one area to another in Iran during the rug weaving boom. The rug is finely knotted, but not as finely as most Senneh workshop production. The combination of the exceptionally well drawn field - not exactly centered - and the complex but somewhat goofy main border is charming but makes one wonder under what conditions this piece was woven. Pile is longer than in standard Senneh dozars and the format is highly unusual. There must be others like rug, but we’ve never seen one. In very good condition, on a cotton foundation, with some well repaired tears and the left guard border slightly reduced. Colors reproduce best in the details. |
6’6” x 9’2 |
European rug, probably French, workshop production from the early 20th century, 6’6” x 9’2”. Low contrast rug in very pale green. Hard-to-find size. Complete and in very good condition. |
