Tabriz with a floral medallion, designed as a large stylized cruciform flower with four petals.
From the 19th century, hand-knotted under the Kadjar dynasty.
It measures 138 cm wide by 199 cm long with fringes, 187 cm without.
Originally from Persia, Iran, this beautiful antique collection rug has a very fine decoration.
## In very good condition for its age, in beautiful quality wool, and soft colors.
The fringes are restored, the velvet is in good condition, slight wear from use, it has a decoration of arabesques and flowers for the field and a series of many cypresses for the border.
This beautiful Persian carpet takes up the criteria of ancient Persian decorations, knotted with great finesse.
From the second part of the 19th century, we can hardly imagine the immense work to knot such a marvel.
The quality of these Persian pieces is not to be demonstrated, the work is fine, precise and durable.
The materials used are of first quality:
This carpet is clean, the wool is knotted admirably and finely tight as these carpets always are.
It reveals to us nuances full of contrasts, many colors, blue, pink, red, green, apricot, black and ivory.
# The cypresses are not there by chance, we see the Mainu Spentas cypress, linked to the Zoroastrian religion.
It is, it is believed, associated with the light of the God Ormuzd and Zoroaster, at his death he is transported to the highest mountain and there, he is transformed. Other legends, the say the tallest cypress in the world, the cypress of paradise, planted by Zoroaster and Kashmar (Torchiz).
The nuances underline this learned floral design in the great tradition of Persian art that is also found in Mughal art, inspired by the miniatures of the school of Tabriz, then capital of the Persian Empire.
# Carpet knotted under the Kadjar dynasty or Kadjars (Qājār, Qadjar, Qajar, Persian: قاجار) Turkmen dynasty which reigned over Iran from 1786 to 1925.
