About the Item
72742 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Persian Kermanshah Rug, 09'05 x 13'02. Woven in the twilight of the 19th century, this exceptional hand-knotted wool Persian Kermanshah rug stands as a testament to the grandeur of Qajar-era craftsmanship. Imbued with quiet opulence, it possesses the refined air of a bespoke antique—softened by time, yet still radiating nobility. Originally woven in the 1880s by the master weavers of Kermanshah, this extraordinary textile has been artfully distressed and antique-washed, allowing its softly muted palette of taupe, sand, and rose to whisper of heritage rather than shout of ornament. The result is a rare confluence of history and understated luxury—an heirloom of status made for the discerning connoisseur.
At the heart of the composition lies a magnificent sixteen-point cusped medallion, a signature of elite Kermanshah design. It blossoms within a serene, faded ground, framed by dense tangles of trailing vines, palmettes, and rosettes—each motif harmoniously arranged with the rhythmic precision of Persian garden design. The delicately aged botanical field mirrors the natural cycle of growth and fading beauty, an intentional nod to impermanence that adds a philosophical depth to the piece. Enclosing the design is an ornate multilayered border rendered in a softened Herati variant, whose continuous interlace conveys both movement and containment—a visual metaphor for cultivated balance.
The allure of this rug lies not only in its complexity but in its scarcity. Few pieces of this scale, refinement, and provenance remain intact from the Kermanshah ateliers of the 19th century. Its distressed patina and antique wash are not defects, but enhancements—conscious efforts to elevate the rug into the realm of art and interior storytelling. This softly structured textile bridges the past and present, offering a grounding presence in modern spaces while evoking the noble salons and private estates of another era. It speaks not only of aesthetic pleasure but of lineage and taste.
To live with an exclusive masterpiece of this caliber is to participate in a legacy of cultural preservation and mindful luxury. It is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, a symbol of timeless beauty, and an investment in both design history and ethical elegance. Whether anchoring a minimalist room with subtle gravitas or enriching a layered interior with historical nuance, this antique Persian Kermanshah rug invites contemplation, admiration, and an enduring sense of prestige.
Rendered in variegated shades of brown, tan, ecru, sand, camel, rose, coffee, and beige with accents of gray, wine, burgundy, and maroon with other accent colors.
