| A very finely woven prayer rug from c.1920. This is a variant of a particular style of prayer rug that began being woven in Kerman, Kashan, Tabriz and Feraghan in the late 19th-century and seems to have been, in its turn, a variant of the millefleurs prayer rug design, which was probably brought back to Persia from India by Nadir Shah after his sacking of Delhi in the late-18th century. The central upright rectangular panel on this rug, with two cypress trees flanking a hugh vase at its base, represents the new element. Fine wool pile on a cotton foundation. |
