Maffrash Shahsaven. Persian. Circa 1880. 176x 105 Cm

Marvelous seems to me the most appropriate word to describe this fragment of Maffrash Shahsaven from Persia. In more ways than one, but let's start with the starry patterns that make up the two large panels. A constellation of stars on a white background. To die for! And if that were all. Now let's look at the central part. Most of the time, it is composed of only two shades. Here, 7! When I say that beauty is in the detail. The weaving. It's simple. Its finesse is such that with wool, one could not make finer. The piece is light as a cloud, it is supple and delicate. To the touch, it is striking. Now let's talk about its condition, we are close to a miracle. 150 years old and not a wrinkle, a snag, nothing. The stop stitches were made at each end as well as the 2 external borders by our restorer or rather magician should be said.Circa 1880 or earlierPerfect conditionDim: 176 x 105 cmInterested in this type of object?
