Description

The master weaver 'Seirafian' is regarded as one of the greatest Persian carpet makers of the 20th century. Known for his fine workmanship, astonishingly soft wool and charming interpretations of classical themes, his signed rugs have a strong collector following. This wonderful miniature example has all the hallmarks of the best Seirafian pieces. It is woven on a silk foundation with the finest 'Kork' wool. There is an engaging party scene in the foreground and the famous Abbasi Great Mosque first built by Shah Abbas in the early 17th century in the background. Note the signature with Persian flags on the bottom. An unusual feature is the miniature size which I have rarely encountered in Seirafian rugs, ideal for flexible use. One can imagine it hanging in a quiet spot or lying on a surface. In excellent condition, and with a wonderful tactile quality, this piece is a rare beauty.

Isfahan rugs originate from the historic cultural centre of Isfahan in central Iran and are globally recognised for their exceptionally high knot density, sophisticated floral or pictorial designs, and master craftsmanship.

Authentic Isfahan rugs traditionally utilise a sturdy cotton or silk foundation with a fine kork wool pile, frequently incorporating fine silk highlights to accentuate intricate details and contours.

Authenticity is determined by examining the extraordinarily high knot count per square inch, the precision of the pictorial narrative, the quality of the natural dyes, and the presence of a master weaver signature, such as Seirafian.

A pictorial rug functions effectively as a textile artwork and can be displayed mounted on a wall within a sophisticated study or living room to highlight its detailed narrative design.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and professional specialist cleaning when necessary.
