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.
