Persian Moeiny Rug - 2.50x1.58 GabehThis magnificent carpet is delightful and shows so much of the Persian Culture to the astute purchaser. It was crafted by a Persian master weaver Mahany who has, with justification, proudly weaved his signature onto this piece. There is much balance and harmony to this piece and its central concept is the tree of life, and tied up with that concept is the clear conviction that heaven follows life. In the midst of all of that are marvellous depictions
A highly stylised carpet with wonderful curvilinear shapes contained within geometric borders
Its rugs are not merely copies of those of other centres
the colours of Kars rugs are softer and more pastel-like than other Caucasian rugs
enabling the weavers to weave a highly compacted rug
The rugs from Qum ‘walk on the shoulders of giants’
Kourk wool and silk inlaid carpets
the central band often takes its motif from the ground design
It is reputed to produce some of the highest quality area rugs in eastern Iran in addition to being a collection point for Baluch tribal area rugs
The abundance of flowers and the natural colours themselves remind us of the renewal of life that is central to existence itself
Heriz and Gorawan are only 2 of them
In both composition and design it is of the highest quality
The border consists of a number of narrow bands framing a wider band
