Type: Isfahan Wool, by Sirafian Size: 163 cm x 104 cm Knots: 11 x 11 cm2, approx. total 2,051,000 Description: The rug is signed in the kilim end: baft-i Iran Isfahan Sirafian ('woven in Iran, Isfahan, Sirafian'). Its ivory main ground has an overall design of floral motifs, mainly in madder and indigo, with the long scrolling arabesques which adorn many of the domes of this exquisite city. The border has the familiar range of decorative motifs, which are here tending to be rather angular. Sirafian is again developing new ranges of expression within a familiar repertoire. |
