Size: 11ft 8in x 8ft 11in (355 x 273cm).
Antique Indian Agra carpet of 'Ardabil' design.
Circa 1880.
A superb and very finely woven Agra carpet, with the 16 lobed ivory coloured central circular medallion, with lanterns hanging at each end. The dark indigo blue field is covered in linked floral sprays. Each corner of the carpet has a 'quarter' medallion, replicating the central medallion. The Border is a repeat design in soft red and ivory on a dark charcoal ground.
The carpet is a very accurate copy of the Ardabil carpet, now housed in the V & A museum, London. The Ardabil carpet is the oldest surviving dated carpet known, It was made in the town of Ardabil in north-west Iran, the burial place of Shaykh Safi al-Din Ardabili, who died in 1334. The Shaykh was a Sufi leader, ancestor of Shah Ismail, founder of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1722). While the exact origins of the carpet are unclear, it's believed to have been commissioned by the court for the shrine of the Shaykh, which, by the 16th century, had became a place of pilgrimage. The carpet can be dated exactly thanks to an inscription on one edge, which contains a poetic inscription, a signature - 'The work of the slave of the portal, Maqsud Kashani’, and the date, 946 in the Muslim calendar, equivalent to AD 1539 - 1540.
It is considered by many that these carpets, (such as the one offered for sale here), were woven in the prisons of Agra, India; close to the Taj Mahal, during the latter part of the 19th century; to satisfy demand created by the ruling British elite. It is well documented that carpets from the Agra jail were commissioned by Queen Victoria, to furnish rooms at Windsor Castle.
The Carpet is in excellent original condition with light wear and good pile, there is some corrosion to the charcoal blacks in the border as is expected with these carpets. The sides and ends are original, the ends retain some of the original kilim end finishes. This is a carpet of fine and tight weave, made with excellent soft wool and superb dye quality.
The carpet is suitable for normal domestic use.
The carpet has been hand washed and is ready for use or display.
A rare opportunity to acquire a scarce carpet with historical significance.

ANTIQUE BESSARABIAN KILIM WITH LARGE SCALE FLORAL ...
Item Ref
H-535
Size: 9ft 1in x 6ft 0in (278 x 184cm).
Antique Bessarabian kilim with large scale floral design on a black ground.
Late 19th century.
Bessarabian kilims originate from Eastern Europe; from an area that is now Moldova, North Western Romania and South Eastern Ukraine. Kilim production in these areas can be traced back to the 18th century and continues today in a limited capacity; the diverse cultural heritage of the region has inspired designs that are unique. The combination of colour and bold design has made Bessarabian kilims very popular with collectors and interior designers in recent years.
This example has a large scale floral design, the eight floral sprays or flowering shrubs are beautifully drawn, and really stand out against the black ground. The very soft ivory / grey border has a colourful linked flower and leaf design, this frames the kilim really well. This kilim is a real statement piece and would make an outstanding furnishing item.
The kilim is in excellent original condition with no wear or repairs. This kilim is woven using the 'interlocking weave' technique, this makes it stronger and suitable for floor use.
