Description

'Mochtashem' was the name of a famous workshop, set up in central Persia around the turn of the 19th century, and its aim was to produce the finest and silkiest rugs for wealthy patrons. They are identifiable by the 'Kurk' wool used, wool which was taken only from lambs, from the neck and underarm area, so it is the softest and shiniest wool possible. Also, the sidecords are overbound in bright purple silk, as is the case here. Hard to find in good condition, like this example, and with a wonderful yellow ground. A really superb weaving that is hard to stop looking at....

4'5" x 6'8"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this piece to the 1900s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
