Fine Rare Signed Persian Ravar Kerman Crown Rug
Rug #1692Fine Rare Signed Persian Ravar Kerman Crown Rug Pictorial Very Fine Kork Wool (Cashmere) and Silk on Silk foundation
This is an unusual rug in that it follows a format often found
on French and English late-18th and 19th century carpets but rarely on
those from any of the great Eastern weaving countries. The large and
elaborate armorial has as its central motif the lion holding a sword with a
sun behind. This was the emblem of the Qajar dynasty, which ruled Persia
from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 20th centuries;
the emblem was adopted by the succeeding Pahlavi dynasty. The lion has
particular significance since the Farsi word for it is shir,
close to sh’ia (‘the party of Ali’) and the Imam Ali himself
is known as Shir-i Khuda (‘Lion of God’). The entire armorial
is surmounted by the Qajar Imperial crown.
