Mobarakeh rug, early 20th century

Just a stones thrown from the famous city of Isfahan these Mobarakeh pieces are finely woven which allows the floral designs to be well articulated as one would expect of a rug from this area. I like the palette on this piece, generally light but with some deep blues to contrast. The abrash in the main field provides some depth and the strong border frames this delicate picture. A classic Persian rug of very fine quality.

Condition:

Good condition, just a little loss to the ends and a little wear.
