A fascinating Persian hand-knotted rug, distinctively combining both pile-weave (rug) and flat-weave (kilim) techniques within a single piece. The rug is crafted from wool, mix of Persian rug and a kilim. A hand-knotted medium height pile rug and the fringe on the edges. Features intricate geometric patterns.
- Main Field: The central part of the rug shows repeating, elongated, diamond or lozenge shapes in various colours, including reds, blues, creams, and possibly some greens or blacks. These shapes are often characteristic of tribal or nomadic rug designs named as Persian Turkeman design.
- Borders: There are multiple borders, one border have a chain-like or continuous pattern, while another shows smaller, possibly stepped or serrated designs.
- The colours: are rich and somewhat muted, natural dyes or dyes that mimic traditional palettes. Dominant colours include deep reds, blues, and possibly some dark greens or blacks. There are also lighter accents, likely cream or off-white, that provide contrast. The overall blue coloration is indeed unique, providing a rich and somewhat muted backdrop that allows the contrasting reds and whites to stand out vividly.
This deliberate integration of a plain kilim section alongside the patterned pile (rug) section is a unique and less common characteristic, adding to its distinctiveness. The rug features fringes (strings) on the length of one side of the pile rug and one side of the kilim section, indicating the traditional finishing of a hand-knotted textile.
