The Oldest Animal Carpet of All Time: Pazyryk Carpet

In an earlier post, I wrote about the oldest carpet ever, the Pazyryk carpet. Here, I am posting several pictures of a Pazyryk reproduction which was made in Iran few years ago in Shiraz with very fine hand spun wool and natural dye.

Royal Hunting Design Carpets and Rugs

Hunting design is another type of animal design without animals fighting each other. It is unknown when exactly this design became into existence. However, we see many rugs and textiles of hunting design from the Safavid dynasty which ruled Iran from 1501 to 1722. 

Here, I am posting pictures of a Kashan rug with the size of 5' 1" x 7' 8". It is roughly 50-60 years old and we have it on sale for only $3,950. This rug is in perfect condition with original fringes at the ends and selvages on the sides. Some horse riders in court dresses are hunting animals. This is one the famous and favorite designs of Safavid courts.
