Sehna “Kurd” pile rug, 3'10" x 5'
#1
Sehna “Kurd” pile rug, 3'10" x 5', from Sanandaj province in southern Iranian Kurdistan, village weaving from about 1910. The complex overall design used here is more common in workshop rugs and carpets from the city of Sehna, but has much more spark, is less stiff, in this village version. Finely woven, single wefted on a cotton foundation, complete, and in very good condition.
Tabriz,2' 8" x 4'
#2
Tabriz rug, probably from a workshop in or very near the large Azarbayjani city of the same name, 2' 8" x 4', from about 1920; the field is decorated with a shrub form that looks like a boteh, but actually more closely resembles motives seen in old Kashmiri shawls. The main border on this piece was commonly used on relatively early Bakshaish export carpets, also from Azarbayjan. This rug is complete and in very good condition. $1,500
Qarajeh, 3’5” x 4’10”
#3
Qarajeh rug in “pushti” format, from the village of Qarajeh in East Azarbayjan in northwest Iran, 3’5” x 4’10”, from about 1920. These small rugs were popular in the village, and the format was probably used earlier for cushion faces. This well-drawn piece is notable for its madder red, an uncommon color in rugs from Qarajeh, and the lack of any dark blue. The medallion detail shows a vegetable dyed chartreuse, which often appears in pre-1925 rugs and carpets from East Azarbayjan, but not later on. Perfect condition, no repairs.
Kashan garden rug, 1' 10" x 2' 11"
#4 Kashan garden rug, workshop weaving from the lovely Qajar city of Kashan in western Iran, from about 1925, 1' 10" x 2' 11". Small Kashans with trees and birds are uncommon on red fields, more so on ivory. This piece is in unworn condition. There is red abrash through the middle of the rug, seen mainly in the borders.
Hamadan, 2' 7" x 3' 10"
#5 Hamadan rug, village weaving, probably from the Mehreban district, western Iran, dating to 1910-1920, 2' 7" x 3' 10". Very finely knotted, in unworn condition, complete. Unusual design and color.
Farahan Sarouk, 2' x 2'4"
#6 Qarajeh rug in “pushti” format, from the village of Qarajeh in East Azarbayjan in northwest Iran, 3’3” x 4’1”, from 1900-1920. These almost square rugs were popular in the village, and the format was probably used earlier for cushion faces. They almost never have yellow fields, as this one does. Complete, unusual design, and in very good condition; one end guard border well rewoven.
Rug is 3'3" x 4'1".
Malayer, 3’2” x 6’5”
#7
Malayer rug, 3’2” x 6’5”, village weaving from an area south of Hamadan, from about 1900 or a bit earlier. This piece, with its riff on the overall “Herati” design, is a contemporary of so-called Sarouk Farahan carpets. Single-wefted, symmetric knots. The main border form did not get used in later rugs from the area. In good condition, minimal repairs, complete.
Tafresh dozar, 4’3” x 6’
#8
Tafresh dozar, 4’3” x 6’, dating to about 1900, from a village about 100 km east of Hamadan, in western Iran. The weave is much like that of village rugs from the Hamadan area, with symmetric knots on a cotton foundation, but knotcount is quite a bit higher. The ascending design of birds within shrubs fits right into Iranian design tradition, but this particular pattern may be European-inspired. Very good color, with a characteristic coral used for the border; in excellent condition and complete. There are no guard borders, which makes for a nice border/field contrast.
