In lovely original condition this is a very fine antique Tehran carpet woven around 120 years ago. This rare and exceptional carpet has beautiful animals in the design and is a remarkably fine weave, these carpets were often commissioned for important people and private homes in the late 19th to early 20th century. Woven by expert master weavers the variety of natural pale blues and indigo deeper dyes are stunning. One of the best examples of weaving we have seen from Tehran, the workmanship is truly breathtaking! A very rare and collectable fine antique carpet.
Tehran is the capital of Iran the country historically referred to as Persia, the greatest carpet producing country in the world. However, while traditional rugs have been woven in a variety of styles throughout Persia for centuries and centuries Tehran itself only became a centre of rug production after the great revival of Persian weaving in the late nineteenth century.
