Ararat Rugs Polonaise Carpet, 17th Century Museum Piece Revival, Natural Dyed
About the Item
The source of the carpet comes from the book 'Oriental Rugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Dimand, Maurice S., and Jean Mailey, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 1973 fig.90.'
If the so-called vase-technique carpets represented the triumph of Safavid workshop weaving in the seventeenth century, another group of Safavid carpets, popularly if erroneously known as “Polonaise” or “Polish” carpets, demonstrates the extent to which Safavid weavers would go to create flashy and expensive objects of conspicuous consumption. Polonaise carpets are believed to have been woven in state-controlled workshops in seventeenth-century Iran and were probably created specifically as royal gifts to noble supporters of the regime and to foreign dignitaries. Why Poland. In time-honored and still current Middle Eastern practice, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Seventeenth-century Roman Catholic Polish and Shi’ite Muslim Persian Kings had one thing in common; they were both opposed to the vast Sunni Muslim Ottoman Turkish Empire that lay between their two kingdoms.
The exact example is exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET Museum). The most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this reinterpreted carpet.

- Ararat Rugs Kerman Vase Technique Carpet 17th Century Revival Rug, Natural DyedBy Ararat RugsLocated in Tokyo, JPThe source of carpet comes from the book Museo Calouste Gulbenkian, Printed by Gulbenkian Museum Lisbon, in 2015, nr.52. This is a vase-technique carpet design in the 17th century in the Kerman region, of Persia. In the 16th century, in Safavid Persia, medallion rugs were among the most appreciated, but at the end of the century and the beginning of the next, a taste for decoration with floral motifs, coils, and palmettes gradually emerged, covering the entire field. This is the case, for this example design, with rugs from eastern and southern Persia. Among the latter are the famous vase-type rugs attributed to the Kerman region, to which our design belongs. Considered by some specialists to be quite atypical, this rug made in Persia, probably in Kirman in the time of Shah Abbas (1587-1625), presents, on a dark blue background, an exuberant and dynamic vegetal decoration in which horizontal and vertical rows of palmettes and stand out, due to their dimension and spiral movements, large sickle-shaped leaves, alternating with branches and flowers. The very narrow rim, with a red background, is filled with a frieze of coils and flowers. It’s a famous carpet design as ‘Kerman Vase Technique Rug, The Most Expensive Rug...Category
