About the Item
An attractive Aghan Rug Herat.
Hand-knotted in 18th century probably between Afghanistan and Persia this rug measuring 270 × 209 cm (8' 10" × 6' 10") has a woolen fleece over a cotton warp and weft, and is thought to probably come from Herat, the Timurid capital in the 15th century, now a provincial capital in western Afghanistan. This piece also features central blazon which indicate that this piece probably woven by the order of a noble family or governmental offices. Herat pattern decorates the field of the carpet: a flower inscribed in a rhombus whose opposite vertices end in identical flowers, a feather, or a leaf, or a fish is placed on the sides of the rhomboidal figure. The unusually shaped central medallion supports a cartouche with an illegible inscription and shows a wild animal getting the better of its prey, while wild animals ready to attack converge from the four cantonals. The light green edge combine fluttering vines, ribbon clouds, adorable palmettes shapes with animal chases and fights. Gracefully decorated, the carpet expresses an unspeakable energy, strength and power. Can you resist? This piece might be a special order for that time from the noble family or governmental office.
