Exceptional Rug Signed - Ghoum, Entirely Silk - Circa 1970, 1m25x0.76m, N° 1200

The Persian carpet is an essential element and one of the most distinguished manifestations of Persian culture and art, whose origins date back to the Bronze Age. The luxury with which the Persian rug is associated provides a stark contrast to its humble beginnings among the nomadic tribes of Persia. The rug was then the necessary article against harsh winters. Since then, it has become a mode of artistic expression through the freedom authorized in particular by the choice of bright colors and the patterns used. Manufacturing secrets are passed down from generation to generation. Artisans used insects, plants, roots, bark and other materials as inspiration. From the 16th century, carpet making developed into an art in its own right.
