Lot Essay

A very similar rug to the present lot is in the Metropolitan Museum, although the present rug retains the coupled columns while the Metropolitan example continues the flowering vine of the upper and lower panels as two bands through the field (S.M Dimand and Jean Mailey, Oriental Rugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York, 1973, no.137, pp.245-6). Two even closer examples are published by Peter Bausback, Antike Orientteppiche, Brauschweig, 1978, nos.68 and 69).
