Persian Floral Design Hand-Knotted Wool Rug, Pakistani Mori-Weave
A hand-knotted wool rug worked in a Persian floral design, with a deep madder-red field carrying an allover lattice of palmettes, eight-point ivory rosette medallions, and dense polychrome blossomwork in blues, greens, rose, and saffron. The main border runs a near-black ground with a continuous floral procession, framed by reciprocal guard stripes and a barber-pole minor band. The wool pile is hand-knotted on a cotton foundation in the Mori-weave technique, at a knot density of 192 KPI.
Made in Pakistan in the fourth quarter of the 20th century, this is one of the finely woven Mori rugs that reinterpret classic Persian town-rug vocabulary for the export market. The tight knotting and the controlled, symmetrical repeat of medallions give the field a balanced, formal character that reads well in either a study or a hallway.
CONDITION
Good. No holes, tears, rips, soiling, or scents; minor signs of use. The pile remains full. Damage to the fringe on both ends, with loss and loose strands at the warps.
