Description

What a beautiful and rare carpet, around 200 years old! I purchased this recently from an estate in France and what a terrific 'look' it has. The faded dyes, the large 'Afshan' design and the very unusual 'Mina Khani' border design- more commonly found as a field design- means this carpet has more in common with rugs you'd find in museums than not. From North West Persia circa 1820. In as found condition, meaning there are some small holes, and it is dusty. Priced as it is.

8'3" x 18'6"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Early 19th Century Herat Kelleh to the 1800s.

FAQs

Herat carpets originate from the historic city of Herat in Khorasan, known for producing sophisticated knotted floor coverings featuring distinctive floral and geometric motifs, often utilising a fine wool pile on a foundation of cotton or wool.

Traditional construction involves hand-spun wool for the pile, hand-knotted using asymmetrical or symmetrical knots, set upon a warp and weft foundation of cotton or wool, dyed with natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authentic pieces are identified by examining the irregularities in hand-spinning and knotting, the natural patina and softening of vegetable dyes over time, the wear patterns on the wool pile, and the specific structural characteristics of the foundation.

A large antique carpet anchors a room by providing texture and grounded warmth, working effectively beneath modern minimalist furniture or complementing traditional interiors to create layered depth and historical contrast.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional conservation-grade cleaning when necessary, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a quality breathable underlay to cushion the foundation.
