Rug - 71 cm - 47 cm

Ancient Persian prayer rug – very fine knotting – mihrab, birds, and Tree of Life – approx. 71 × 47 cm Description Very beautiful ancient Persian prayer rug, from a family collection and having belonged to my father. A particularly refined piece, characterized by an extremely fine knotting and a richly detailed composition. The design revolves around a mihrab with an ogival arch, on a superb deep blue ground. At the center unfolds a composition evoking the Tree of Life, abundantly flowering and animated by numerous birds arranged symmetrically. Notably, two birds facing each other are visible in the upper part, several long-necked birds in the central part, and two large birds placed on either side of a flowering vase at the base of the composition. The whole is surrounded by rich arabesques, flowers, foliage, and small botanical motifs. The corner pieces and the various borders reprise this floral and animal vocabulary, including large bird motifs in the corners. The palette combines deep blue, red, ivory, green, brown, and orange accents, in a particularly harmonious composition. The back and macro photographs with a millimeter ruler allow appreciation of the very great fineness of the knotting, visually estimated around 90 to 110 knots per cm², an estimate to be confirmed by expert appraisal. The material is very fine, supple, shiny, and silky in appearance. From its drawing and the fineness of execution, the rug could correspond to a high-quality Persian production, possibly of Qom/Ghom type in silk, attribution and material to be confirmed by a specialist. Dimensions: about 71 × 47 cm excluding fringes. Fringes are present and the colors have retained very beautiful intensity. Some small marks and irregularities related to age are visible in the photographs. No signature has been identified. Detailed photographs of the front, back, borders, fringes, and knotting are an integral part of the descriptio
