Lot 1 THE SILK ROUTE
For centuries the link between Europe, the Middle East and the Far East was the Silk Route. Among the various goods reaching the Continent were beautiful hand woven carpets and rugs, some in pure silk and others in fine 'kurk' quality wool, from famous weaving centers of Isfahan, Qum, Kashan and Nain of central Persia to finely woven, part silk Tabriz carpets.
Travelling back in history, culture and tradition, one would see the magic of Persian weaving and admire the quality and its essential part in house furnishing.
In this exceptional sale we will have a selection of important carpets and rugs, in fine quality silk, part silk and soft 'kurk' wool, which are high in demand for the quality, beauty and finesse of design drawing.
