Fine Vintage Persian Pictorial Wall Rug Depicting Shirin or Maiden by the Waterrug no. 10991

Description

An intriguing mid-20th-century Persian kashan fine pictorial rug depicting a classical maiden seated along a riverbank—a scene frequently referencing the Persian romantic legend of Nizami's Shirin Bathing in a Springs or an Orientalist allegorical maiden. The central figure is depicted with long dark tresses flowing over her shoulders, seated in a crimson wrap against a cream ground. She is framed by a woodland landscape featuring teal-blue trees, irises, and wild botanical flora, set against distant rolling hills and a waterfall. The main field is enclosed by a narrow geometric floral micro-border in deep navy, aubergine, and madder red. Knotted with fine wool on a cotton foundation, the reverse displays exceptionally crisp knot definition and high density, making it ideal as a collector's wall tapestry or accent mat
