Sale Price
Only $1000
5 foot 5 inch by 3 foot 8 inch
This is an excellent quality Persian
workshop rug from a master weaver workshop in Isfahan. The rug is in new
condition without flaw or blemish.
The rug is very fine and a master designer has
made of that fineness to make a very rich design
that is hard to convey on a computer screen.
Please note the shading and attention to detail
in the close-up.

The best known workshop in Isfahan is that of Serafian.
The elder Serafian
created the style that have become identified as
the quintessential 20th century Isfahan. Serafian
was the major workshop that popularized a style
that we see to the right.
The rug to the right is in the
style of what is called a second generation Serafian.
The more one looks at Isfahan rugs the more obvious
it becomes that the rugs draw heavily on the
architecture of 16th century Safavid
Isfahan. The rug to the right
draws heavily on the art and tile work that
graced the court of Shah Abbas the Great. See my Notes
on Shah Abbas

Condition: As new, no dye run, no
holes, no tears, and no repairs. This rug lays flat.
Size: 5 foot 5 inch by 3 foot 8 inch
Use: Well suited to floor use or for the collector.
Origin: Persian,
imported from Isfahan Iran.
A note about the construction:
|
Asymmetrical knot open to the left.
Isfahans have a two level
construction. One rigid weft
and one sinuous weft
force the knots onto two planes so that only one
of the two knot nodes are visible from the back.
Isfahans are among the very best rugs made in
Iran and this is an excellent example. Well
suited to floor use or for the collector.
Isfahans average 200 to 625
knots per square inch with a few small sized
pieces up to 900 knots per square inch. This rug
has 24 by 24 knots to the square inch which for a
rug of this size is very fine. Keep in mind the
larger the rug is the harder it is to weave a
fine rug.

This rug is from Herat Orientals of
Alexandria Virginia. Zia Hassanzadeh the owner and I are
old friends and we have done business for years. Zia has
given me Carte Blanche to select the rugs I like from his
inventory and Herat Orientals will handle the sale and
ship them.
This is an ideal opportunity for you since this way
you can find first quality rugs from the inventory of one
of the major importers to the US market. Herat also
carries a large inventory of large and antique carpets
and rugs.
Best wishes,
Barry O'Connell
