An exceptionally finely woven antique Kerman rug, this piece features a striking portrait of a king (Shah), likely created as a gift for the royal court. The Shah is depicted in formal attire, complete with a crown (Taj) and sword—an enduring tradition in Persian weaving, symbolizing loyalty and gratitude from local lords to the monarchy.
This exquisite piece was crafted using all-organic dyes and exceptionally fine knots. While it shows wear consistent with its age, there are no restorations or structural damage. The original sides and ends remain intact, with minor reinforcements on the sides to preserve its integrity—a true gem of historical craftsmanship.
