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 Malayer Rug, Village of Mishen, North-West ...
Item Ref
BM/MM
The only word to describe this rug is ...... magnificent!
Made in the village of Mishen in the Malayer region of north-west Persia during the second half of the 19th century, the fineness of knotting and detail is just incredible.
Mishen was noted for probably the best and finest rugs made in this area in the 19th century and those rugs were generally referred to, not just as 'Malayer' but as 'Mishen Malayer'.
This rug is in very good overall condition with a tight low-cropped pile and the range of natural colours is superb.
Size: 1.90 x 1.37m (6' 3" x 4' 6").

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.

Item Ref
BM1688
Wow! What an amazing rug! You might call it 'astronomical' but it is quite incredible!
Possibly made in the Ardebil area of north-west Persia or in Armenia close by circa 1900, it comprises a beautiful sky-blue mihrab depicting the Earth, Moon, Saturn, stars and zodiacal symbols. Note the little angel floating around the Earth - just beautiful. The condition is very good with evenly-low pile all over.
I have never seen anything else like this before but maybe a few will emerge from the woodwork after this, who knows!
Hang it on your wall and who needs a painting! And at a fraction of the cost!!

Antique Sarouq - Feraghan Rug, North-West Persia. ...
Item Ref
BM1816
The natural colours in this finely-knotted rug are just beautiful.
Made in the areas of Sarouq and Feraghan in north-west Persia around 1880, the madder-red field contains a beautifully-drawn tree - symbolically 'the tree-of-life' representing the three-level universe where the roots are in the underworld, the trunk is in the earthly world and the branches are in the world of the spirit. Two columns in pale green, rise up on either side of the tree to meet a mihrab with spandrels in stunning natural sky-blue.
In excellent condition although a very minor outer border is missing, this is a stunning and very collectible rug.
