This month's Persian & Oriental Rugs & Carpets sale brings together an attractive selection of hand-knotted carpets and rugs from across the great weaving centres of Persia and the wider region. The catalogue features a range of traditional designs, colours and weaving styles, offering collectors and interior buyers alike the opportunity to acquire decorative and characterful pieces.Among the highlights is a striking North West Persian Heriz carpet, notable for its bold stepped central medallion and rich madder red field, a design long admired for its strong geometric character. A finely detailed Tabriz carpet also features prominently, with a salmon-toned field and intricately drawn arabesques and palmettes, reflecting the refined weaving tradition of this historic centre.The sale includes a number of beautifully patterned carpets from central Persia, such as a Kashan carpet with a deep indigo field densely filled with flowering vines and palmettes, and a Markazi Mahal carpet decorated with scrolling vinery and floral ornamentation set against a warm terracotta ground. Further interest comes from a Veramin rug with its distinctive lattice pattern of stylised floral motifs, and an elegant Lillihan carpet centred by a circular medallion surrounded by scrolling vines.Completing the highlights are a decorative Ziegler design carpet, inspired by the Sultanabad weaving tradition with its open floral composition, and a large North West Persian Mahal carpet featuring a richly coloured indigo field with rosette medallion and flowing vine decoration.Altogether, the sale presents a varied and appealing group of traditional hand-knotted carpets and rugs, combining decorative impact with the enduring craftsmanship of Persian weaving. Place your bids and find yourself something truly special today.
