Rare Antique Needlework Rug with Polylobed Medallion and Confronting Leopards
About the Item
This magnificent blue ground early Arraiolos needlepoint displays a polylobed central medallion clearly inspired by the so called ‘Star Variant’ 15th/16th Century Ushak rugs, being protected at the top and bottom by a pair of confronting leopards, as sometimes seen on early Safavid weavings. The field is embellished by a plethora of motifs, including vases of flowering carnations rendered in the Ottoman style. The corner spandrels are instead decorated by a blossom palmette characteristic of the Arraiolos tradition, as is the elaborate cartouche-type border.

Rare Antique Kansu Rug with Tiger Pelt Pattern and Confronting Dragons

The structural characteristics of this piece, together with the type of wool employed, indicate its origin to the district of Kansu, of which we know only fifteen examples.
