Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Persian Rug to the 1880s.
This lovely rug is such an example. The midnight blue field is decorated with an all-over design of roses, the so-called Gol Farang' design, seen on many city woven carpets of the 19th and early 20th century. It is charmingly drawn. Normally one would expect to see large, expressively drawn roses in such a design. But here the flowers are drawn delicately and with great finesse. Note also the row of larger flowers at the bottom of the field. The ivory border is also quite wonderful with a floral design and meandering vines. The entire composition is jewel-like. Finely knotted with soft wool and great natural dyes, the rug has survived in very good condition. The are minor signs of corrosion in the blue field as one might expect from this dye. The selvages and ends are original and intact. Professionally cleaned. This is both a collectible and highly decorative little Persian rug which would light up many interior settings.
