Description
This is an extremely rare, small rug, symmetrically knotted by the Bahluli tribe of Khorassan prrovince, north-east Persia circa 1870-1880.Because of the small, squarish size, it makes me consider that this might have been made as a 'masnad' - a seating rug for the chief of the tribe to sit on. The woollen pile is soft and lustrous throughout and what is particularly attractive is the myriad of small quadrupeds - deer or gazelle - dominating the field. Note too, the soft, madder-red ground containing a fabulous abrash in the top part of the field and surrounded by one simple, glowing blue main border.
The rug is in excellent condition and whether in the past it might have had kilim skirts, that we will never know!
This rug is unique and I haven't seen another like it.
Size: 1.00 x 0.95m (3' 3" x 3' 1").
