TU-ChristiesAre vintage carpets better?
The hand-woven antique carpets offered at Christie’s hail from Persia, Anatolia and across the Middle East — regions whose traditional designs continue to inspire modern imitators today. They are made from naturally-dyed wool, taken from sheep that grazed on the high pastures of the Caucasus or the mountain ranges of Persia, and the colours will far outlive those of the synthetic dyed wool used today.
This large Sultanabad carpet from West Persia is offered in our Oriental Rugs and Carpets sale on 18 October 2016 at Christie’s in London, King Street.
