Description
Made during the first half of the 20th century, this unique rug, with its impressive 'tree-of-life' rising upwards through a beautiful burnt-orange ground, was made by the Baluch Mahdad Khani tribe in the region of Chakhansur and Zabol in south-eastern Persia.
When I was offered this rug from Iran, what particularly caught my eye was the most attractive depiction of camels and human representation between the branches of the tree, not forgetting the most unusual burnt-orange ground colour. The main border is fairly typical of the Mahdad Khani tribe, containing a 'gul-like' motif reminiscent of the Turkmen 'gurbaghe' gul.
In excellent condition with complete brocaded skirts at each end, as a wall-hanging, this fabulous rug would look quite amazing!
Size: 1.93m x 1.02m (6' 4" x 3' 4").
