Antique Persian 'Astronomical' Rug, Possibly Ardebil, North-west Persia or Armenia?

1900 - 1920
Description

Wow! What an amazing rug! You might call it 'astronomical' but it is quite incredible!

Possibly made in the Ardebil area of north-west Persia or in Armenia close by circa 1900, it comprises a beautiful sky-blue mihrab depicting the Earth, Moon, Saturn, stars and zodiacal symbols. Note the little angel floating around the Earth - just beautiful. The condition is very good with evenly-low pile all over.

I have never seen anything else like this before but maybe a few will emerge from the woodwork after this, who knows!

Hang it on your wall and who needs a painting! And at a fraction of the cost!!

Size: 1.83 x 1.25m (6' 0" x 4' 1").
