Rugs Circa 1720

The 1720 Circa Date encompasses some of the most sought-after and historically significant antique carpets in the global market, representing weavings from the early 18th century at the height of the classical Persian period. These museum-quality rugs and textiles—often originating from royal workshops in Kirman, Isfahan, or Kashan—exhibit unparalleled technical skill, featuring exceptionally fine knot counts, vibrant natural dyes, and highly sophisticated curvilinear medallion designs. Understanding the scholarly necessity for defining rug age allows collectors to appreciate the rarity of these pieces compared to masterworks produced slightly later, such as those categorized under the mid-18th century.
