ANTIQUE #SA1144375

Antique Timuri Carpet, Sangtschuli Sub-tribe, Borderlands Of North-eastern Persia / North-west Afghanistan.

£3,750    $5,071    €4,325
In near-mint condition, this fabulous Timuri rug has the highest quality soft, shiny wool with highlights of green silk throughout and complete kilim skirts at each end. The central ''tree-of-life'' has branches protruding from it and surrounded by a multitude of symbols - stunning and subtle in its drawing. The madder-red main border depicts a continuous vine - symbolically representing the eternal cycle of life.
 
Made during the last quarter of the 19th century by Sangtschuli tribes on the eastern Persian/western Afghanistan border, it really needs to be seen and handled to fully appreciate the high quality of the work involved. Please look at the close-up photos to see the fabulous natural colours.
 
This is Timuri weaving at its best!
