Mir

Consistently numbered among the finest and most prestigious of Central Persian workshop items, and today seldom encountered on the open market, the top quality Sarouk Mir carpets knotted in the Persian province of Arak belong to the most ancient heritage of Persian knotting art. As this exceptional example in the most elegant and traditional medallion composition of the ancient Persian Court and master workshop culture so definitely illustrates, Sarouk examples of this quality display a clarity and precision of draughtsmanship and a superb blend of wonderfully harmonious colours which place them in the most sought-after category of classic Persian carpets, exerting a perennial appeal for international art connoisseurs which is virtually unrivalled by any comparable Persian workshop type. In addition to the beauty and elegance of design and colour manifested in this palatial specimen, the quality and luxury of its lustrous pile exemplifies a further attribute of the top Sarouk class which has earned those few items which qualify for inclusion such world-wide favour among discerning collectors. A carpet of regal grandeur and noble refinement, encapsulating the aesthetic ethos of Persian knotting art in its myriad achievements.
