Veramine Rug Iran 158 X 106 Cm

Iranian kurk* wool rug, cotton warp and weft, dated 1359 or 1940. Very good condition. Slight wear from use, given its age, over 80 years old. Fine work. Strong and durable mat.

Located south-east of Tehran, the small town of Veramin made carpets most often using the timeless 'mina khani' (daisy pattern), an interpretation of the 'herati' or 'mahi' pattern. This motif, no doubt of Kurdish origin, is found on the bidjars.

Beautiful veramine with a floral pattern. In the center of the medallion, we notice a daisy from which leave a multitude of flowers and scrolls. The four spandrels are defined by four bouquets whose vases take up the daisy motif. Two small "herati" (flower) borders frame a "cartridge" border where weasels or ferrets are represented. A lot of attention in the realization of the design, work of the Ustad (Master weaver) who made the cardboard of the carpet. The work of the weaver is also remarkable.
* Kurk wool: fine lamb's wool taken by combing. Strong and durable wool.
