Antique Pair of Tabriz City Rugs, Tabriz, ...
Item Ref
RUGMAC15/16
It's unusual to find a fabulous pair of Tabriz rugs that have remained together for over 100 years. They were acquired by a British family living in Iran during the early 20th century and handed down through the family until now. I acquired them because the family concerned were down-sizing and sadly couldn't use them any more. I've had them deep washed and both rugs have turned out beautifully - their glowing indigo-blue field and intricate detail in the central lozenge and spandrels just stunning. Made around 1880-1900, I am selling the rugs as a pair as it would be sacrilege to separate them after all this time. The price quoted below is for the pair.

Antique Silk Kashan Rug, Kashan, Central Persia. ...
Item Ref
BM1580
Although I'm a tribal man at heart, I couldn't resist buying this beautiful, green-field, silk Kashan rug when it was offered to me recently. It was acquired in the 1960s from Liberty, London and had been hanging on the previous owner's wall since then - the hanging rings are still attached - so it has been well cared for and is in really excellent condition. I've just had it expertly washed and it is now glowing. Made in the early 20th century in Kashan, this rug is a wonderful example of early silk weaving in central Persia.
