Ararat Rugs Bid Majnum on Blue Field Rug, 17th C Revival Carpet, Natural Dyed

About the Item

The source of the rug comes from the book Antique rugs of Kurdistan A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D. Burns, 2002 nr.45. This is a popular design employed by the Kurds, called bid majnum (or Bid Majnun, weeping willow) 17th-century rug from Sa’uj Bulagh, Eastern Kurdistan area. Four different types of trees -cypress, willow, cherry, and plane- can be depicted in these carpets, and the pattern is found on other Persian carpets from the 17th century to the present day. In addition to the weeping willow itself, there are two principal types of trees in this version of the bid majnum pattern: the plane tree with branches and tripartite leaves, and the cherry with white flowers (sakura) in bloom. The plane and cherry are often found in the field and borders of Sa’uj Bulagh rugs. The inner guard has the mountain peak pattern and this rug has many diverse colored floral figures on a dark blue ground. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.

    Located in Tokyo, JP
    The source of the carpet comes from the book 'Oriental Rugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Dimand, Maurice S., and Jean Mailey, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 1973 fig.90.' If the so-called vase-technique carpets represented the triumph of Safavid workshop weaving in the seventeenth century, another group of Safavid carpets, popularly if erroneously known as “Polonaise” or “Polish” carpets, demonstrates the extent to which Safavid weavers would go to create flashy and expensive objects of conspicuous consumption. Polonaise carpets...

  • Ararat Rugs Kerman Vase Technique Carpet 17th Century Revival Rug, Natural Dyed
    By Ararat Rugs
    Located in Tokyo, JP
    The source of carpet comes from the book Museo Calouste Gulbenkian, Printed by Gulbenkian Museum Lisbon, in 2015, nr.52. This is a vase-technique carpet design in the 17th century in the Kerman region, of Persia. In the 16th century, in Safavid Persia, medallion rugs were among the most appreciated, but at the end of the century and the beginning of the next, a taste for decoration with floral motifs, coils, and palmettes gradually emerged, covering the entire field. This is the case, for this example design, with rugs from eastern and southern Persia. Among the latter are the famous vase-type rugs attributed to the Kerman region, to which our design belongs. Considered by some specialists to be quite atypical, this rug made in Persia, probably in Kirman in the time of Shah Abbas (1587-1625), presents, on a dark blue background, an exuberant and dynamic vegetal decoration in which horizontal and vertical rows of palmettes and stand out, due to their dimension and spiral movements, large sickle-shaped leaves, alternating with branches and flowers. The very narrow rim, with a red background, is filled with a frieze of coils and flowers. It’s a famous carpet design as ‘Kerman Vase Technique Rug, The Most Expensive Rug...
