912. a debonair old Serabend Persian carpet

912. Provenance: Serabend, western Iran

Size: 320 x 210 cm

Age: Circa 1940

Condition: Good. No issues.

Notes: An attractive, restrained piece, entirely typical of the type, it features a repeat motif of small tear-drop shaped botehs (the precursor to the famous 'Paisley' design), on a lively red ground. The geometricized running-leaf border is also to be expected. Solid, hard-wearing construction, perhaps ideal for a 'gentleman's study (?).
