An early 20th-century Persian Tehran carpet from around 1930, measuring approximately 213.4 × 304.9 cm (about 7’0″ × 10’0″). The composition pairs a claret field with a teal blue border, woven from a wool-and-silk yarn combination — a higher-end material specification that gives the surface its characteristic subtle sheen and depth.
Tehran (Tahran) is the capital of Iran; the city’s formal carpet production through the early 20th century drew on the broader vocabularies of Persian workshop weaving, with silk-highlighted Tehran carpets representing the upper tier of production.
Hand-knotted wool with silk. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
