Description

Some of the best and most interesting 19th century Persian rugs were produced in the towns and villages of the Fereghan district, north of Arak. Woven on cotton foundations with fine wool pile using the asymmetric knotting technique (in contrast to the rugs of Melayir which bear some stylistic similarities but which are woven with the symmetric knot), the best examples have a high knot density and thin low clipped pile. This wonderful rug has the technical characteristics of the best Fereghan rugs. Finely knotted with grainy wool and a low clipped pile, the details of the design, especially in the medallion and borders are highly defined. But what captures the attention is the rare abrashed green field. Green was a dye that was used sparingly. Here we see it dominating the rug with stunning effect. The central medallion seems to be floating above the field which the secondary colours are used to sparkling effect in the spandrels and borders. This rug has great presence and is an artistic joy. Signs of wear commensurate with the age. One or two old repairs. Professionally cleaned.
