This Tehrani was handwoven during the early 20th century.
This exquisite antique Tehrani rug exemplifies the refinement and artistry of one of region’s most distinguished weaving centers. These carpets, woven in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are celebrated for their intricate drawing, sophisticated color palettes, and masterful execution and this example embodies those qualities in full.
At the heart of the composition lies a majestic central medallion in deep red and soft blue, radiating outward into a field of scrolling vines, blossoms, and palmettes. The pale yellow ground provides a luminous backdrop that enhances the clarity of the floral motifs, while the rich red and sapphire-blue spandrels create a balanced frame of color. The elegant border, with its sinuous vine scrolls and delicate floral clusters, completes the composition with poise and rhythm.
The palette featuring ivory, rose, sapphire, soft teal, and accents of pistachio and ochre is both vibrant and subtle, offering a sense of depth and harmony. Perfectly accented with silk highlights.
In very good condition for its considerable age and fineness. It has a couple of small tears
