Lot 45, The rug in the image is a vintage Qum wool carpet featuring a 19th-century Qajar Garden design, a motif deeply rooted in Persian artistic traditions. This particular piece, circa 1940, showcases a meticulous and balanced layout of garden panels, each bordered with intricate floral designs. The garden imagery is divided into rectangular sections, with each compartment containing an architectural niche or arch, resembling a formal Persian garden — a hallmark of Qajar-era aesthetics. The colour palette combines rich hues of blue, cream, and earthy tones with vibrant reds and greens, bringing life to the floral and tree motifs that symbolize fertility and nature’s beauty. The use of symmetrical floral designs within each arch further enhances the sense of harmony typical in Persian garden designs. The finely detailed patterns and the precision in the weaving indicate high craftsmanship, likely intended for decorative use in prestigious settings. The pile is made from local lamb’s wool, which adds a soft, luxurious texture, while the cotton foundation provides durability. Measuring 204×145 cm, this rare and elegant piece embodies the traditional elegance of Persian weaving, merging artistic expression with historical significance. Its rarity and historical value make it a desirable piece for collectors and those who appreciate Persian heritage.
