Old Persian Tafresh Rug, 135 X 194 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool In Iran At The Beginning Of The 20th Century

Tafresh Persian carpet, from the beginning of the 20th century, originating from Iran, in wool, measuring 135 cm wide by 194 cm long.
Uncommon are these magnificent carpets knotted in Tafresh, a small Iranian town, near Arak.
This type of carpet is particular, much happier in decoration and shades than those knotted in the neighboring sectors of the district of Hamadan.
The weft of these pieces is simple, you can see the two loops forming the knot on the back, but they are very resistant.
The great characteristic of these rugs, which are quite rare on the market, is this important medallion that they display in the center of their field.
Our model is adorned with this flowery medallion, placed on an orange-red field, set with four spandrels abundantly flowered in blue and flowery cream border, of the most beautiful effect, surrounded by a decoration of stylized branches.
Note the two pendants accompanied by plumes. A striking contrast, a wool blend with a little silk, shiny and fine.
The borders have a superb shine on a cream background where stylized flowers are placed in a row, spaced out by flowering branches.
"The artist saw flowers in nature and did not represent them as they are.
It is God who created them so the artist stylized them because only God has perfection".
And this is almost valid for every representation, floral or animal in Islamic art.
The artist must therefore work in the abstract.
A very light wear covers the whole of this superb carpet, magnificent to look at. We present two other Tafresh, one from the beginning of the 20th century and one from the 19th century, breathtakingly beautiful on our Proantic gallery.
This rug has been professionally and environmentally cleaned.
Dimensions: Width: 135 cm (53") x Length: 194 cm (76")
