Large shield-like forms stretch across the field, while curling tribal details soften the geometry without losing its force.

The pale linear elements rise through the surface like improvised marks rather than strict ornament. Its strength is not precision; it is warmth, movement, and tactile presence.

Lot: 446 - Antique Persian Farahan Sarouk Rug 6 ft 2 in x 4 ft 3 in (1.87 m x 1.29 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 2 in x 4 ft 3 in (1.87 m x 1.29 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Compact in scale but visually firm, this Farahan Sarouk balances Persian floral drawing with a strong village-rug backbone. The ivory field makes the red scrolling forms and central medallion stand out clearly, while the dark blue border gives the whole piece structure. The ornament is floral, but the outlines are crisp and somewhat angular. That contrast is what keeps the rug from feeling merely decorative.

Lot: 447 - Antique Persian Bidjar Rug 6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 10 in (1.98 m x 1.47 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 10 in (1.98 m x 1.47 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer The catalog title identifies this as Bidjar, though the image should be handled carefully because the floral style is not the most typical Bidjar look from appearance alone. Visually, the rug is defined by large naturalistic floral sprays on a dark field, framed by a warm red border. Rose, ivory, taupe, muted blue, and red blossoms give the piece a lush, almost European decorative feeling. I would keep the Bidjar name in the title if that is what the source provides, but I would avoid making strong structural claims unless the weave confirms it.

Lot: 448 - Antique Persian Mohtashem Kashan Rug Fragment 6 ft 4 in x 4 ft 5 in (1.93 m x 1.35 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 4 in x 4 ft 5 in (1.93 m x 1.35 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer As a fragment, this piece should be described for its surviving detail rather than as a complete room-size carpet. The preserved section shows rows of boteh-like forms across a warm ivory-tan field, with a deep blue floral border giving the fragment visual weight. Rust, navy, tan, and ivory details create a formal textile rhythm. The Mohtashem Kashan attribution carries importance, so the description should sound respectful but not overclaim beyond what the image can prove.

Lot: 449 - No Reserve - Large Antique Persian Kerman Lavar Rug 17 ft x 11 ft (5.18 m x 3.35 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 17 ft x 11 ft (5.18 m x 3.35 m) Provenance: Collection of late notable London and New York dealer Scale and light define this Kerman Lavar. The golden field feels open and luminous, while the allover floral vinery gives the surface refinement without requiring a central medallion. Blue, ivory, brown, and soft rust details move through the field with a delicate decorative rhythm. The darker border is important because it anchors the lighter center and gives the large carpet enough architectural presence for a formal room.

Lot: 450 - Antique Persian Senneh Rug 4 ft 8 in x 3 ft 4 in (1.42 m x 1.01 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 4 ft 8 in x 3 ft 4 in (1.42 m x 1.01 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Precision is the dominant quality in this Senneh. The dark blue field is filled with tightly arranged floral-geometric motifs, creating a surface that feels detailed but disciplined. Red, ivory, green, soft pink, and muted gold accents enliven the pattern without making it chaotic. The border system, especially the red and ivory framing bands, sharpens the composition and gives the rug a crisp Persian character. As with any attribution, the Senneh identification should ideally be confirmed through structure, but visually the drawing is refined and controlled.

Lot: 451 - Antique Persian Kashan Rug 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 6 in (2.03 m x 1.37 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 6 in (2.03 m x 1.37 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi A tightly woven allover floral pattern gives this antique Persian Kashan rug its refined, almost textile-like surface. The ivory field is filled with small repeating rosettes, leafy arabesques, and dark accent details, creating a disciplined rhythm from top to bottom. Around it, a rich red border carries larger floral cartouches and scrolling vines, giving the smaller field pattern a stronger architectural frame. The rug feels formal but not heavy, with the contrast between the pale center and saturated border doing much of the visual work.

Lot: 452 - Antique Persian Karajeh Rug 5 ft 8 in x 4 ft 9 in (1.72 m x 1.44 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 5 ft 8 in x 4 ft 9 in (1.72 m x 1.44 m) Provenance: Property of a New York dealer A richly ornamental garden composition fills this antique Persian rug, with flowering vases, lattice panels, and layered floral arrangements set against a deep red field. The upper and lower portions introduce blue patterned sections, while the center is dominated by symmetrical vase and bouquet motifs. A dark floral border adds weight and contrast, framing the composition like a miniature formal garden. Because the image does not strongly match the usual geometric Karajeh vocabulary, the attribution should be confirmed structurally before relying on it in final catalog copy.

Lot: 453 - Antique Caucasian Gendje Tree of Life Rug 9 ft 6 in x 4 ft 11 in (2.89 m x 1.49 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 9 ft 6 in x 4 ft 11 in (2.89 m x 1.49 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Angular drawing and strong color contrast define this antique Caucasian Gendje rug. The dark field is organized with repeated geometric floral devices, star-like motifs, and vertical paneling that gives the piece a crisp tribal rhythm. Red, ivory, blue, and soft green details stand out against the darker ground, while the red border keeps the whole design contained and energetic. Although the catalog title references a Tree of Life design, the image’s stronger impression is its bold Caucasian geometry and tightly repeated field pattern.

Lot: 454 - Antique Persian Kurdish Rug 9 ft x 4 ft 8 in (2.74 m x 1.42 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 9 ft x 4 ft 8 in (2.74 m x 1.42 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Diagonal bands pull the eye toward the center of this antique Persian Kurdish rug, creating a strong herringbone-like movement from end to end. Each colored stripe carries small tribal devices, giving the design a lively handmade irregularity rather than a stiff repeated pattern. Rust, red, blue, green, brown, ivory, and gold tones move through the rug in a way that feels earthy and regional. The central vertical column and darker border add structure, while the striped field gives the piece its real personality.

Lot: 455 - No Reserve - Antique Persian Kerman Rug 13 ft 2 in x 9 ft 10 in (4.01 m x 2.99 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 13 ft 2 in x 9 ft 10 in (4.01 m x 2.99 m) Provenance: Property of a private estate A red field carries the visual force of this antique Persian Kerman rug, but the real interest comes from the blue, ivory, and muted green floral tracery moving across it. The pattern is allover rather than medallion-based, with stylized trees, flowering stems, and small decorative forms arranged in a balanced repeat. Multiple borders frame the field with darker contrast and floral detail, giving the large rug enough structure for a formal room. Its appeal lies in the mix of decorative Persian elegance and a more grounded, antique warmth.

Lot: 456 - Tribal Geometric Vintage Persian Malayer Runner Rug 13 ft x 3 ft 8 in (3.96 m x 1.12 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 13 ft x 3 ft 8 in (3.96 m x 1.12 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Soft wear and pale color give this vintage Persian Malayer runner a quiet, time-softened character. Three large rust-colored medallions stretch down the blue-gray field, each outlined with stepped ivory geometry and small internal devices. The side borders carry simplified tribal forms in faded rust, brown, ivory, and pale blue, keeping the long format from feeling empty. Rather than relying on dense ornament, the rug works through scale, spacing, and the contrast between its weathered field and bolder central medallions.

Lot: 457 - Antique Persian Heriz Rug 12 ft x 9 ft 10 in (3.65 m x 2.99 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 12 ft x 9 ft 10 in (3.65 m x 2.99 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Classic Heriz strength comes through immediately in the large angular medallion and powerful red field. Navy, ivory, soft blue, and coral details sharpen the geometry, while the corner pieces and border give the rug a strong architectural presence. The floral elements are stylized rather than delicate, which is exactly what gives Heriz rugs their bold village character. Large enough for a serious room setting, this piece has the visual weight and graphic clarity expected from an antique Persian Heriz.

Lot: 458 - Vintage Persian Malayer Bird Design Rug 6 ft 3 in x 4 ft 3 in (1.9 m x 1.3 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 3 in x 4 ft 3 in (1.9 m x 1.3 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Birds, flowering branches, and small garden motifs animate the blue-gray field of this vintage Persian Malayer rug. The design has a charming folk-art quality, with repeated birds perched among angular stems, blossoms, and abstract plant forms. Rust, ivory, pale blue, and muted coral accents give the rug warmth without making it overly bright. The border is important but secondary here; the main appeal is the lively bird-and-garden pattern across the field.

Lot: 459 - Antique Persian Kerman Cypress Tree Design Rug 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft (2.03 m x 1.22 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft (2.03 m x 1.22 m) Provenance: Purchased from Bonhams auction Cypress trees rise through the red field of this antique Persian Kerman rug, surrounded by birds, flowering branches, and small garden details. The composition feels more pictorial than purely ornamental, with the repeated trees giving the rug a vertical rhythm and symbolic character. Narrow floral borders frame the scene without distracting from the field. The palette is warm and expressive, using red, ivory, green, blue, and dark accents to create a compact but visually rich garden design.

Lot: 460 - Vintage Persian Khorassan Allover Pattern Rug 11 ft 3 in x 8 ft 1 in (3.43 m x 2.46 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 11 ft 3 in x 8 ft 1 in (3.43 m x 2.46 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi A soft camel-tan field gives this vintage Persian Khorassan rug a warm, refined surface. Fine floral vines, palmettes, and scrolling forms repeat across the center without a dominant medallion, creating a continuous decorative rhythm. The dark blue border provides the needed contrast, framing the lighter field with denser floral ornament. Compared with the more tribal rugs in this group, this piece feels formal, polished, and room-oriented, with its strength coming from balance rather than bold graphic impact.

Lot: 462 - Vintage Persian Tabriz Medallion Rug 13 ft 1 in x 9 ft 5 in (3.99 m x 2.87 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 13 ft 1 in x 9 ft 5 in (3.99 m x 2.87 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi A bold red field anchors this vintage Persian Tabriz medallion rug, while the central navy and ivory medallion gives the composition its formal focus. Fine scrolling vines, palmettes, and floral sprays fill the field without overwhelming the main structure. The dark outer border adds richness and contrast, helping the rug feel grand but still orderly. It is a strong room-size Tabriz with a classic Persian city-rug layout.

Lot: 464 - Large Antique Persian Farahan Sarouk Rug 17 ft 6 in x 12 ft 4 in (5.33 m x 3.75 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 17 ft 6 in x 12 ft 4 in (5.33 m x 3.75 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Dark ground color gives this large antique Farahan Sarouk a serious, old-world presence. Across the field, repeated floral and boteh-like motifs create a steady rhythm, while the warm red and coral border keeps the palette from feeling too severe. The drawing has enough structure for a formal room, but the surface still feels handmade and antique rather than rigid. Its strength is atmosphere: deep color, age, scale, and a quietly powerful allover pattern.

Lot: 465 - Vintage Persian Kerman Rug 14 ft 6 in x 9 ft 1 in (4.41 m x 2.76 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 14 ft 6 in x 9 ft 1 in (4.41 m x 2.76 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Color and ornament are the story here. A vivid red field surrounds a large ivory medallion filled with floral detail, while sweeping paisley forms and layered borders add a distinctly decorative Kerman character. Blue, gold, green, ivory, and pink accents make the rug feel lively and almost ceremonial. The composition is formal, but it has more movement and visual drama than a restrained workshop carpet.

Lot: 466 - Large Antique Persian Kashan Rug 18 ft 2 in x 10 ft 1 in (5.53 m x 3.07 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 18 ft 2 in x 10 ft 1 in (5.53 m x 3.07 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Deep navy gives this large antique Persian Kashan rug its weight and elegance. The central red medallion rises out of a field filled with fine floral vines, palmettes, and scrolling ornament, while the red border frames the whole carpet with strong contrast. Ivory corner details lighten the composition just enough to keep the large format from feeling too dark. Among this group, it reads as one of the more stately and classically formal Persian room-size carpets.

Lot: 467 - Antique Caucasian Baku Rug Dated 1312/1895 5 ft x 3 ft 5 in (1.52 m x 1.04 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 5 ft x 3 ft 5 in (1.52 m x 1.04 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Compact in scale but bold in design, this antique Caucasian Baku rug is built around three large star-like medallions set against a deep blue field. Red, ivory, pale blue, and small geometric accents sharpen the design, while the border adds a strong frame of angular Caucasian ornament. The rug has a crisp, graphic quality rather than a soft floral one. The stated 1312/1895 date should be verified from the inscription and structure, but visually the piece carries the character of a late 19th-century Caucasian village rug.

Lot: 468 - Antique Caucasian Shirvan Prayer Design Rug 4 ft 10 in x 4 ft 2 in (1.47 m x 1.27 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 4 ft 10 in x 4 ft 2 in (1.47 m x 1.27 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer A sharply drawn prayer niche gives this antique Caucasian Shirvan rug its architectural shape. Inside the field, rows of small diamond motifs create a precise, almost jewel-like pattern, framed by several narrow borders in red, blue, ivory, and dark brown. The design feels compact and disciplined, with very little empty space. Its beauty comes from the tension between the large mihrab form and the finely packed geometric detail inside it.

Lot: 469 - Antique Caucasian Sewan / Shild Kazak Rug 8 ft 5 in x 5 ft 3 in (2.56 m x 1.6 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 8 ft 5 in x 5 ft 3 in (2.56 m x 1.6 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina The shield medallion dominates this antique Caucasian Kazak, giving the rug its immediate power. Red ground color, blue-green inner forms, ivory outlines, and hooked devices create a bold tribal composition with strong visual symmetry. The border is graphic and assertive, but the central shield remains the main event. Compared with the Shirvan prayer rug, this piece feels larger, heavier, and more forceful, with the kind of iconic geometry collectors often associate with Kazak weaving.

Lot: 470 - Antique Indian Gem Stone Tapestry Rug 4 ft x 2 ft 6 in (1.22 m x 0.76 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 4 ft x 2 ft 6 in (1.22 m x 0.76 m) Provenance: Private collection of an Indian collector Jewelled color, raised floral detail, and metallic-looking ornament make this antique Indian tapestry rug feel more like a decorative textile panel than a standard floor covering. A dense garden of flowers fills the center, organized around a soft medallion shape and surrounded by pale scrolling borders. The black outer frame gives the bright embroidery and gem-like accents a stronger contrast. Small in size but visually elaborate, the piece is best understood as an ornamental textile meant for display, layering, or wall presentation rather than heavy floor use.

Lot: 471 - Antique Persian Khorassan Kalam Kari / Qalam Kari Textile 14 ft 10 in x 6 ft 3 in (4.52 m x 1.9 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 14 ft 10 in x 6 ft 3 in (4.52 m x 1.9 m) Provenance: Property of a London collector A long, quietly dramatic Khorassan qalam kari textile, centered by a deep red field filled with small repeating boteh forms. Pale circular medallions interrupt the field at measured intervals, while layered borders of script-like cartouches, floral bands and soft blue-gray accents give the piece an architectural, manuscript-like quality.

Lot: 472 - Antique Caucasian Kazak Borchalou Rug 4 ft x 2 ft (1.21 m x 0.6 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 4 ft x 2 ft (1.21 m x 0.6 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Compact and graphic, this Kazak Borchalou rug relies on bold village geometry rather than decorative excess. The ivory field is anchored by a strong blue central diamond, with smaller checkerboard lozenges above and below. Red, teal-blue and dark brown borders frame the composition with a crisp, almost talismanic energy.

Lot: 473 - Oversized Antique Indo-Kashan Rug 22 ft 5 in x 12 ft (6.83 m x 3.65 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 22 ft 5 in x 12 ft (6.83 m x 3.65 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi At oversized scale, the Indo-Kashan design reads as formal and room-defining. The pale field is filled with a dense, repeating floral pattern, softened by age and balanced by a richly detailed red border. Its strength is not a single focal medallion, but the disciplined allover rhythm that gives the rug grandeur without visual heaviness.

Lot: 474 - Antique Persian Kashan Rug 14 ft 3 in x 10 ft 6 in (4.34 m x 3.2 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 14 ft 3 in x 10 ft 6 in (4.34 m x 3.2 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Warm rose, muted brick and deep blue tones give this Kashan a dignified, time-softened presence. The central medallion is surrounded by layered floral tracery, with darker corner elements and borders adding depth. What stands out most is the aged harmony of the palette: formal Persian structure, but with a mellow, lived-in elegance.

Lot: 475 - Large Vintage Persian Kashan Rug 16 ft x 11 ft 8 in (4.87 m x 3.55 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 16 ft x 11 ft 8 in (4.87 m x 3.55 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi A saturated red field immediately gives this vintage Kashan its visual power. The ornate central medallion and pendant forms are finely drawn, but the open red ground keeps the composition from feeling crowded. Darker borders and intricate floral scrollwork add a classical Persian frame around a confident, decorative center.

Lot: 476 - Antique Persian Sarouk Farahan Rug 6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 1 in (1.98 m x 1.24 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 6 in x 4 ft 1 in (1.98 m x 1.24 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Dense floral drawing and a dark, richly worked field make this Sarouk Farahan feel intimate and collectible. The ivory central medallion gives the design a clear point of focus, while the surrounding vines, corner motifs and red border create a compact but sophisticated composition. The palette has that older Sarouk depth: red, navy, rose and soft ivory working together.

Lot: 477 - Antique Persian Heriz Rug 13 ft 3 in x 9 ft (4.03 m x 2.74 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 13 ft 3 in x 9 ft (4.03 m x 2.74 m) Provenance: Property of New York dealer Angular drawing dominates this Heriz, with a powerful red field, large geometric medallion and bold navy border. The design has a strong village-rug character: assertive, architectural and highly legible from a distance. Rather than delicate floral refinement, its appeal comes from scale, color contrast and the confident geometry of the composition.

Lot: 478 - Antique Persian Sarouk Mohajeran Rug 4 ft 10 in x 3 ft 4 in (1.47 m x 1.01 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 4 ft 10 in x 3 ft 4 in (1.47 m x 1.01 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Against a dark navy field, the floral motifs in this Sarouk Mohajeran feel especially luminous. Rosette clusters, small birds or bird-like forms, and delicate scrolling stems create a refined garden effect. The red border adds warmth and containment, while the compact size lets the detailed drawing remain close, decorative and jewel-like.

Lot: 479 - Antique Indian Agra Rug 16 ft 9 in x 11 ft 6 in (5.11 m x 3.51 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 16 ft 9 in x 11 ft 6 in (5.11 m x 3.51 m) Provenance: Purchased from Brunk auction Softly faded and atmospheric, this antique Agra has a quieter authority than the brighter Persian examples. The field appears filled with mirrored animals, birds, foliage and ornamental forms, all absorbed into a muted wine, taupe and beige palette. Its beauty comes from age, scale and subtle pattern rather than sharp contrast.

Lot: 480 - Antique Persian Kashan Rug 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 5 in (2.03 m x 1.34 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 5 in (2.03 m x 1.34 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi A compact Kashan with a richly layered medallion design, this rug balances formal Persian symmetry with dense decorative detail. The central form is surrounded by architectural floral compartments, deep blues, softened reds and finely drawn borderwork. Its smaller size makes the intricacy feel concentrated rather than overwhelming.

Lot: 481 - Antique Caucasian Kazak Borchalou Rug 9 ft 2 in x 5 ft 10 in (2.79 m x 1.77 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 9 ft 2 in x 5 ft 10 in (2.79 m x 1.77 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina A vivid red field gives this Borchalou Kazak its immediate force, while the blue central diamond, hooked white forms and smaller shield-like motifs bring the composition into sharp tribal focus. The strongest feature is the way the rug balances bold symmetry with lively village drawing: serrated outlines, scattered rosettes, latch-hook details and saturated red, blue, ivory and green all working together without feeling stiff.

Lot: 482 - Antique Caucasian Diamond Kazak Rug 9 ft 4 in x 4 ft 7 in (2.84 m x 1.39 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 9 ft 4 in x 4 ft 7 in (2.84 m x 1.39 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Large ivory stepped diamonds dominate the rug from end to end, creating a powerful vertical rhythm against the dark ground. The red border, small geometric devices and multicolored diamond centers keep the design animated, but the main visual identity is the dramatic chain of angular Caucasian medallions.

Lot: 483 - Antique Caucasian Double Niche Karachopf Kazak Rug 9 ft 9 in x 4 ft 3 in (2.97 m x 1.29 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 9 ft 9 in x 4 ft 3 in (2.97 m x 1.29 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina The double-niche layout gives this Karachopf Kazak a strong architectural character, with red stepped forms set against a muted green field. Checkerboard details, squared ornaments and hooked tribal motifs add energy throughout the field, while the wide border gives the long format a firm, graphic frame.

Lot: 484 - Antique Persian Kazvin Rug 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 4 in (2.03 m x 1.32 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 4 in (2.03 m x 1.32 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi Deep navy grounds the entire composition, allowing the rose, coral, ivory and soft blue floral forms to stand out with real richness. The central diamond medallion is important, but the rug’s greater appeal comes from the dense floral movement surrounding it, especially the layered corner work and finely packed border drawing.

Lot: 485 - Antique Persian Bidjar Gallery Size Rug 20 ft x 5 ft 10 in (6.1 m x 1.78 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 20 ft x 5 ft 10 in (6.1 m x 1.78 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Long, narrow and visually dense, this Bidjar gallery rug depends on repetition, structure and depth rather than a single focal medallion. The dark field is filled with an allover floral lattice of small rosettes, scrolling leaves and compact ornaments, giving the rug a stately corridor presence with the firm, tightly organized character associated with Bidjar weaving.

Lot: 486 - Antique Persian Senneh Haft Rang Rug 6 ft 7 in x 4 ft 2 in (2 m x 1.27 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 7 in x 4 ft 2 in (2 m x 1.27 m) Provenance: Property of an Italian collector A finely patterned dark field surrounds a crisp central medallion in coral, pale blue and ivory, giving the design both delicacy and visual snap. The rug’s best feature is the contrast between its tightly repeated field pattern and the more open, angular medallion structure, a balance that makes the piece feel refined without becoming overly formal.

Lot: 490 - Silk Vintage Turkish Hereke Rug 3 ft 9 in x 2 ft 8 in (1.14 m x 0.81 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 3 ft 9 in x 2 ft 8 in (1.14 m x 0.81 m) Provenance: Property of New York dealer Calligraphic cartouches and delicate floral scrolls give this Hereke rug a ceremonial, manuscript-like quality. The ivory field, red border panels and fine curving vines feel more decorative than geometric, and the small scale makes the details read like a jewel rather than a floor-covering design.

Lot: 491 - Vintage Turkish Hereke Silk Prayer Rug 5 ft 7 in x 3 ft 4 in (1.7 m x 1.02 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 5 ft 7 in x 3 ft 4 in (1.7 m x 1.02 m) Provenance: Collection of a late German collector Aghajan Nassimi A red prayer-field composition anchors the design, while cream-colored floral arabesques rise through the center with a graceful, almost embroidered effect. The dark blue border sharpens the contrast and gives the rug a more formal presence, especially against the softer ivory guard borders and silk-like precision of the drawing.

Lot: 492 - Antique Persian Farahan Sarouk Rug 2 ft 7 in x 1 ft 9 in (0.79 m x 0.53 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 2 ft 7 in x 1 ft 9 in (0.79 m x 0.53 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Small in size but full of character, this Farahan Sarouk centers on a round blue medallion set into a warm ivory field. The surrounding floral sprays, dark border and touches of red and blue give it a charming, intimate quality, with the drawing feeling more personal and hand-touched than grand or formal.

Lot: 493 - Vintage Persian Malayer Runner Rug 12 ft 10 in x 3 ft 3 in (3.91 m x 0.99 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 12 ft 10 in x 3 ft 3 in (3.91 m x 0.99 m) Provenance: Property of a retired New York dealer Soft wear and a faded blue field give this Malayer runner a quiet, timeworn appeal. The peach, camel and ivory vinework forms a long central rhythm of diamonds and stylized floral devices, while the pale border keeps the whole piece light, atmospheric and easy to place in a hallway or narrow interior.

Lot: 494 - Antique Caucasian Kuba Runner 8 ft 10 in x 3 ft 4 in (2.69 m x 1.01 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 8 ft 10 in x 3 ft 4 in (2.69 m x 1.01 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina A narrow red field gives this Kuba runner a bright, energetic backbone, with stacked octagonal medallions, small animals, rosettes and angular tribal devices worked into the length of the design. The ivory main border is especially important: its serrated diamond pattern creates a crisp frame around the darker vine borders and makes the runner feel both busy and sharply organized.

Lot: 495 - Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug 7 ft x 4 ft 2 in (2.13 m x 1.27 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 7 ft x 4 ft 2 in (2.13 m x 1.27 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Bold red serrated medallions sit against a dark ground, giving the rug a strong Caucasian graphic punch. The blue central diamond, ivory stepped details and scattered floral rosettes soften the geometry just enough, while the layered borders add movement without competing with the three-part field composition.

Lot: 496 - Antique Turkish Bergama Rug 7 ft 7 in x 5 ft 8 in (2.31 m x 1.72 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 7 ft 7 in x 5 ft 8 in (2.31 m x 1.72 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Chunky village drawing defines this Bergama rug, from the squared central medallion to the hooked outlines, angular blossoms and assertive red field. The ivory border with repeating abstract forms gives the piece a strong architectural edge, while the blue, green and soft salmon accents keep the composition from feeling too heavy.

Lot: 497 - Antique Turkish Melas Rug 5 ft 6 in x 3 ft 9 in (1.67 m x 1.14 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 5 ft 6 in x 3 ft 9 in (1.67 m x 1.14 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina A quieter Turkish village rug, this Melas relies on balance and warmth rather than dense ornament. The stepped red central panel holds a vertical row of stylized floral devices, surrounded by patterned red side panels and an ivory border that lightens the palette. Its strongest quality is the charming restraint of the layout.

Lot: 498 - Antique Turkish Bergama Rug 6 ft 6 in x 6 ft (1.98 m x 1.82 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 6 ft 6 in x 6 ft (1.98 m x 1.82 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina The square format gives this Bergama an unusual, compact presence, almost like a tribal emblem enlarged into a room-size textile. Interlocking diagonal arms, hooked motifs and a central diamond create a bold red-and-navy geometric field, while the border continues the same angular vocabulary in a tighter rhythm.

Lot: 499 - Antique Turkish Kirshehir Runner Rug 11 ft 3 in x 3 ft 8 in (3.42 m x 1.11 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 11 ft 3 in x 3 ft 8 in (3.42 m x 1.11 m) Provenance: From an important private collection of Andrea & Mark Carol from North Carolina Long, vivid and highly architectural, this Kirshehir runner is built around a vertical sequence of large geometric medallions in red, green, ivory, blue and muted aubergine. The side borders are darker and more densely patterned, which helps contain the bright central field and gives the runner a strong corridor presence.

Lot: 500 - Vintage Gallery Size Sultanabad Design Rug 16 ft 4 in x 7 ft (4.98 m x 2.13 m)

Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 16 ft 4 in x 7 ft (4.98 m x 2.13 m) Provenance: Property of a private house Soft ivory and pale beige tones give this Sultanabad-design gallery rug a much more understated feeling than the tribal pieces before it. The allover floral pattern is spacious and faded, with gentle vinework, muted botanical forms and a quiet border that reads as decorative rather than graphic. Its main strength is the calm, open palette, making it feel refined and easy to place in a long interior.
