About the Item

This Early 20th century Indian Larestan sampler rug, measuring 1' 7" x 2' 5", reflects the artistic flair and vibrant traditions of Southern Persia and its Indian adaptations. Larestan rugs, often woven as samplers, were prized for their imaginative interpretations of classical motifs, making them both decorative and educational pieces for weavers. This example showcases a dynamic composition, filled with bold angular lines, stylized floral forms, and striking animal and bird motifs woven into the field. The deep blue ground serves as a dramatic backdrop, amplifying the vivid tones of crimson, ivory, and gold that animate the design. Sampler rugs such as this one were often created to demonstrate the repertoire of motifs available to larger commissions, making them miniature archives of regional weaving traditions. Compact yet expressive, this piece exemplifies the charm of small-format Larestan samplers while embodying the lively energy and creativity characteristic of early 20th-century rug weaving.
