#1

Kirman carpet, domestic weaving from the city of Kirman in east central Iran, 8'6" x 11'9", from 1890-1900; older Kirman carpets have the reputation of being the most sophisticated produced during the Rug Boom in Iran. They are usually worn out, as they are finely and loosely woven, but this piece is in very good condition and complete. The soft rosy red is characteristic of Kirman carpets and rugs from the period. Most antique room-sized Kirmans have central medallions, and many have ivory or red fields.

 

#2

Ferahan carpet, workshop weaving from the Arak area in western Iran, 10'6" x 13'2", from 1900-1920; This carpet was woven with the same design as late 19th - early 20th century so-called "Ferahan-Sarouks", and one must assume it comes out of the same milieu. It is coarser and also has a broader color range than most old Sarouks, since it was not washed as hard chemically. Great color harmonies. Complete, with one original warp finish, and in very good condition.

 

#4

Donegal carpet, Irish workshop production, 8' 3" x 9' 6", from about 1910-20; this coarsely knotted European carpet, with its dark brown field, is woven with a French Savonnerie design, and has nice texture. Complete and in very good condition. Price quoted on request.

New September 2011

Sultanabad carpet, workshop weaving from the city of Arak (formerly Sultanabad) or a nearby village in western Iran, 10’7” x 12’6”, from 1880-1900.  Many of these iconic carpets have large medallions, and it is rare to find one like this with an overall design in compatible colors, complete, and in good condition.  The striking pale green background border complements the rust field.  Usual border color for these carpets is dark blue.  The large palmette border elements are typical of Sultanabads. Almost all old Sultanabads are rust, not red.  Detail images show color best.
