Decorative Rugs
This page lists my antique rugs in sizes under approximately 2.50m x 1.50m. Decorative rugs can enhance any space, brightening up bedrooms, living areas, libraries and corridors. Here you can see a wide range of Persian tribal, village and city rugs, Anatolian rugs, Indian and rugs. There are also some fine silk rugs, as well as European rugs, such as Aubussons and rare Ukrainian kilims. The range of colours and designs is remarkable. Please contact me with your enquiries.
-HA7532.jpg "Fine Melayir Rug - This handsome Persian village rug comes from the Hamadan region and was woven either in Melayir or nearby Mehraban. Either way, it has several superior features. The proportions to the design are very nice, aided by the slightly wider than normal rug format. Clearly the weaver wanted to create something special. The Herati design in the field is spacious and elegant. Note the very cute little spandrels in light blue. The border is also very pretty in a sapphire blue. The weave is very fine and the hand spun wool has a soft velvety touch. The pile is thin, fine and in excellent condition. All the dyes are natural. Professionally cleaned and ready for immediate use.")
-AF2.jpg "Fine Hamadan Rug - Hamadan rugs are one of my favourite groups of Persian rugs. Their bold drawing and colours often result in very beautiful compositions, and are underappreciated expressions of Persian folk-art. This piece is a fine example. Probably woven in the village of Mehraban in the Hamadan district, it boasts glossy wool and a fine weave with the typical single-wefted structure. The design represents 2 long-stemmed flowers emanating from each end of the field which are surrounded by other large scale flowers, palmettes and leaves. The forms are almost abstract and are woven in daring colours in greens, pinks and light blues. The midnight blue field gives the whole composition a three-dimensional feel. The field is framed by a lovely light blue border. In excellent condition, this piece has been professionally washed by ourselves and is ready for immediate use, whether on a wall or floor.")
