Very Fine Very Fine Isfahan Prayer Rug

Size: 3 foot 8 inch by 6 foot 2 inch.

The knot count is very fine but do not judge it by knot count alone. Yes it is Silk and Wool on Silk, but it is more than that. This rug is a work of art. In a book I am translating from French it deals with some very similar birds and trees. If you have a moment you are welcome to take a look at similar birds and trees in Animals in Combat. Here the artist who designed this has reached back to the classical art of the 16th century

This rug dates to Circa 1970. All the dyes look good. It is a handmade pile weaving from Iran.  It is handmade and in excellent condition.
