Tebriz carpet - Lot 329
Tebriz carpet (cotton warp and weft, wool pile), Northwest Persia, circa 1930 188 x 139 The navy blue background is enhanced by the herati pattern. This pattern is composed of a rhombus formed by curved stems, which encloses a rosette and is topped by a palmette at each vertex, repeated ad infinitum, with each time four falciform leaves next to each other. This design adorned the Herat carpet (to which it owes its name). A red border with a polychrome flower garland is framed by two counter-borders Because of its proximity to Turkish ports, Tebriz developed trade with Europe in a major way and thus became a major carpet production center. From the end of the 18th century, large carpet factories were established there. The Tebriz carpets are characterized by a great quality and fineness of knotting and present very varied decorations: the classical decoration of the central medallion with four spandrels, the vase decoration, the herati decoration in full field, figurative or landscape decorations, the prayer rugs or the garden rugs. All materials are used throughout Persia: the warps can be made of sheep's wool, goat's hair, or even camel's hair, cotton, silk. Velvet can be knotted in wool or silk, cotton can also be used to enhance certain patterns.
