Early 19th Century Oversize Pictorial Persian Rugrug no. 10973

Description

. A brigade of Qajar soldiers stands at attention in the broad ecru border, guarding the dark blue field adorned with an allover diamond-shaped leaf lattice, which encloses various rows of floral motifs. This is a very rare example, with only a handful known, all of which appear to be from the same period. The soldiers' uniforms suggest a date around the early 19th century
