19th century

Sold by James Cohen Antique Carpets

Description

Mid nineteenth century or perhaps a little older, this beautiful North West Persian gallery carpet is made with the quintessential Kurdish wool and colour. To touch it brings to mind the fur of a cat and to look at it is reminiscent of a technicolour Walt Disney cartoon. The drawing of the large blossoms has echoes of the classical Persian weaving period and the movement and energy throughout it superb. A very charismatic and rare rug.

Some old reweaves and showing light wear.
