Tafresh Persian rug, from the beginning of the 20th century, originally from Iran.
Made of high quality wool, this rug is 142 cm wide by 196 cm long.
These magnificent rugs knotted in Tafresh, a small Iranian town near Arak, are unusual.
This type is special, much happier in its decor and nuances than those knotted in neighboring areas of the Hamadan district.
The weave of these pieces is simple, you can see the two loops forming the knot on the back, which makes them very resistant.
The great characteristic of these carpets, quite rare on the market, is this large medallion with plumes that they display in the center of their field.
Our model is adorned with this flowery medallion, placed on an almost salmon pink field, set by four spandrels abundantly flowered in blue, of the most beautiful effect, surrounded by a decoration of stylized branches.
Note the two pendants accompanied by plumes.
## The salmon pink shade called "dughi", was obtained by adding yogurt, called "dugh" to the other natural dyes of these old carpets in the 19th century. Subsequently, the craftsmanship of Arak used a characteristic process to obtain the background pink (also called "dougi pink or milky pink). This color is obtained by immersing the wool mixed with alum, in a serous solution based on madder.
After two days, the wool is immersed for 24 hours in running water, which gives it this specific tone with almost bluish reflections.
A striking contrast, a mixture of wool with a little silk, shiny and fine.
The borders have a superb golden shine or stylized flowers are placed in a row spaced by flowering branches.
Very light wear covers the whole of this superb carpet, magnificent to look at. We present other Tafresh from the 19th and 20th centuries, breathtaking in beauty, on our Proantic gallery.
This carpet has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.
