Description
A rare antique Seirafian rug, signed by Hossein Seirafian, unbelievable detail, the scroll work is remarkable and the border of half cut pale blue medallions and vases are very unusual to see. Woven with an off-white to cream toned background, which has some abrash (dye change) this is an exceptional piece of art woven by the Master Seirafian workshop.
The knot count is 26 knots by 30 knots making it 780 knots per Sq inch. Woven around 1930, this rug has lived in a private collection for over 50 years and is in near mint condition, with only minimal losses to the fringes in places. These could be professionally restored if required.
Hossein Seirafian, the seventh brother of the Seirafian family to his father Reza, unfortunately passed away in 1986 at a relatively young age, so he was only producing carpets for a comparatively short amount of time. His designs range from classic medallion patterns to horizontal pictorial scenes. His later carpets carry a modified bottom Seirafian signature with his full name added (or squeezed in) in English letters.
A rare masterpiece of Seirafian weaving history on offer, please view all the additional images to see the amazing detail and workmanship all created by hand around 90 years ago in Isfahan.
Isfahan is situated virtually in the centre of Iran, and was once the capital city. The rugs are woven in the city itself and the surrounding villages. Starting in the early 17th century, their name was renowned throughout Europe – this has continued to the present day. Although rug making was interrupted by the Afghan invasion, it quickly re-established itself as a major centre for the finest handmade carpets. This example show cases why Isfahan are famous for weaving the most detailed, beautiful fine rugs.
