Moud Iran Rug 248 X 200 Cm

Iranian wool and silk rug (1%), circa 1980. Very good condition. Great achievement.

Beautiful coffered Moud with elegant patterns including weeping willows, trees and boteh patterns*. In the main border on an orange background, birds, butterflies and deer are represented. The göl-e-bölbül pattern. (Nightingale and flower) is found in the small blue borders, which surround the main border. Lots of attention to detail in the making of this rug.

Carpets from Khorasan, North-eastern Iran, are among the most appreciated creations by carpet lovers. The "garden" or "four seasons" pattern which was originally made on the "tabriz" during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732), and more precisely during the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629), is found on "bakthiar", "ghoum" as well as on "moud".

*Boteh: Ancient pattern with different meanings. It can represent the transformation of Zoroaster into a cypress tree, symbol of eternity, but also into a drop of water, into a palm, into a tree. The term boteh means “flowering bush” in Persian. There is a similarity with yin and yang.
