Dimensions: 8'2" x 9'6" (249 cm x 290 cm).
Circa: 1930.
This antique circa 1930 Mir rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind Persian carpet distinguished by its refined all-over lattice field and crisply articulated guard borders. The open ivory ground, framed by soft rust and blue accents, gives the design an airy elegance while the hand-knotted patterning and balanced geometry speak to the precision prized in Mir weaving. Its understated scale and versatile palette make it an ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or dining area.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, pale blue, rust, charcoal, and taupe, with a ivory field.
Mir rugs are woven in the Saraband district of west-central Iran, and their name is virtually synonymous with the "mir" pattern — a repeating field of small, curved boteh (teardrop or paisley) motifs arranged in offset diagonal rows on a rich red ground. This endlessly adaptable all-over design, which may derive from a stylized leaf or flame form, became one of the most widely imitated in the history of rug weaving.
Antique Mir-Saraband rugs are finely woven on a cotton foundation with the asymmetric knot. Their warm palette, precise drawing, and quietly rhythmic pattern make them enduringly versatile in traditional and transitional interiors.
