Elegant c. 1920's Veramin Carpet

Object Description

Antique Veramin carpets from central Persia are recognised as exceptional workshop weavings, renowned for their remarkable quality, fine crisp drawings and balanced variety of vegetable-dyed colours.

This piece is in very good to excellent original condition, still retaining its original fringes at both ends and original borders on all four sides. Its harmonious vegetable-dyed colours and hand-spun wool have aged nicely.

A timeless example to complement a wide variety of settings.

Object History

This early 20th-century fine Veramin carpet has a remarkable tight weave which explains the clarity of its drawing. The light sky-blue field complements the generous large-scale drawing, framed by a wide terracotta border. The charming pomegranate design is derived from early Azerbaijan rugs of the 18th century and symbolises prosperity, fertility and longevity.

Object Condition

Very good to excellent.
