Rug No. 52610

Antique Persian Semnan rug with an absolutely captivating design and colorway. You might instantly think of William Morris and his expressively earthy botanical artwork, but he did draw inspiration from Persian and Indian art and textiles. When this rare rug was made, around 1930, there was plenty of feedback between the eastern and western aesthetics. Semnan rugs were never produced in great numbers and the examples we do find are of the highest quality in terms of design, colors, and fineness of wool and weave. This example pleases the eye with a soft apricot ground, a border that looks like the blackest velvet, pops of jade green, mulberry, cerise, pale yellow, taupe, bird egg blue, and dusty rose. Needless to say, we are thrilled to have this very special beauty in our collection.

Rug No. 161551

Antique Benlian Tabriz rug in a remarkable rendition of the hunting design. The upper right corner bears the Benlian Workshop eight pointed star insignia that reads “Mahmud Jabbarzadeh - Ghali Bafian”. The early Benlian rugs like this one are very finely knotted using the highest quality hand spun wool in an unparalleled range of subtle colors. The artwork is based on designs found in 16th century Safavid royal court illustrated manuscripts, paintings, and extraordinary carpets, depicting animals and hunting scenes in nature. Our present example on its surface is a wonderous work of art, but each creature and tree also has a symbolic value in Middle Eastern mythology. A masterful palette of soft sophisticated colors illustrates a forest of cypress trees, flowering almond, acanthus, and pomegranate, while animated wolves, dragons, phoenix, lions, tigers, leopards, deer, and antelope, preserve natural order.
