Product description
Antique abedeh rug with the classic zili sultan "vase and peacock" motif. Closely related to the ancient motif of a tree on which two birds alight, the zil-i-sultan seems to have been invented in Persia in the late 19th century by a court official of the Qadjar dynasty, its name meaning "shadow of the sultan". The colors are based on natural dyes and shine on an ivory background. This is a superb example of this type of carpet, in soft pure wool. The red border on the background has an unusual design and frames the rug well. Note all the little birds in the field pattern surrounding the flower vases. Because of their quality and aesthetic value, abedeh rugs are often considered works of art and are highly sought-after by collectors and rug enthusiasts the world over. They represent an important part of Iran's cultural heritage and are a symbol of the traditional craftsmanship and know-how of the abedeh region. True masterpieces of Persian craftsmanship, these carpets are appreciated for their durability and resistance to wear. Used as floor rugs to bring a warm, colorful touch to classic and contemporary interiors, they can also be used as wall decorations. Sought-after by collectors, they are a true cultural heritage of Iranian craftsmanship and a good investment. We also offer delivery services to Belgium (€50), Paris (€69) and Hauts-de-France (€69). Please note that a surcharge of €20 may apply for deliveries to upper floors. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
