Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this piece to the 1870s.
The Herati design is meticulously drawn, but on a scale which makes it very easy on the eye. I particularly like the ivory border, an unusual colour choice, and the drawing of the mini palmettes and botehs. Please take a note of the aubergine dye which appears generously across the carpet. This early dye is a very good indication that this carpet was made in the pre-commercial Revival Period at the end of the 19th century. The carpet has worn in an even way and has that elusive 'lived-in' look.
