026 SHIRVAN Prayer Rug c.1850 SOLD


SOLD

A truly pristine specimen of the Shirvan variety of Prayer Carpet. This is a stately, classic design that exemplifies the elegance achieved in this special class of weaving. A mid-19th Century piece. The square shape is belied by this photo as the rug was photographed from a slight angle. The actual piece is nearly square -- a rarity in itself.
Age: c. 1850
Size: 48in. x 54in. or 1.22m x 1.37m
Price: $5000
