About the Item

Antique Persian Bakhtiari Carpet Rug, Early 20th Century The Persian script on the top middle of this Bakhtiari rug indicates that the rug is made as a special order for a government official. The word farmayesh means “in the order of”, and the respectful title of jinab jilaltmahab a’qai, meaning “His Excellency”, is usually used for high-status individuals such as kings, presidents, and ministers. Furthermore, the word al-saltana was used as the title of certain Muslim rulers who claimed almost full sovereignty in practical terms. In addition, the weaver writes the year, which is equivalent of (1906) and signs it with his name, preceding the word amal-i which means “work of”. Although it is difficult to read the full name of the person that the rug was made for, there is no doubt that it was made for a highly-status individual from the Islamic world.

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century
Located in San Francisco, CA
Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
