Persian rug runner

Hello Maura,

I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal,

Considering the photographs, overall pattern, knot density and the colours, I concluded that this is an Entirely Hand Knotted Persian Style Orienal Runner Rug made in Pakistan. The piece likely dates back to the period from 1980 to 2000. The runner rugs are carpets that are designed specifically for halls and corridors. The piece was designed and knotted in Isfahan patterns, Isfahan is a Persian city close to Tahran and it is known as a center for weaving for centuries. Your piece was nt centrally decorated and therefore does not have a central medallion but was decorated with continuous duplications of a single pattern. This pattern is all florally decorated with classical Isfahan, Tabriz style larger flowers and was centralized by a round, circle like flower. Patterns were connected eachother with interpretations of "Herati" pattern. It is usually known as a rotated square or a symmetrical bow type of a motif between floral figures. The piece's central area was decorated on a Beige base while the borders are florally decorated on a black base. The piece is knotted wool on cotton. The piece is in good condition without any visible problems.

Entirely hand knotted.

Dimensions: 365 Centimeters to 78 Centimeters

Condition: The piece is in good condition without any visible problems.

Provenance: Unknown

Heavily decorated by traditional Isfahan patterns.

1000-1200$, this is a fair market value and the retail price might be higher in the Oriental Rug market.
