Antique Kirman Rug with Damask Rose Motifs

Antique Silk Yarkand Samarkand Rug Size: 10'10" × 12'1" (330 × 368 cm) This exceptional antique rug, originating from the Yarkand region of East Turkestan and dating to circa 1830, is a rare example of a Silk Samarkand weaving. Measuring approximately 12'0" × 11'0" (366 × 335 cm), this piece showcases the refined elegance and cosmopolitan artistry that define the textile traditions of the Silk Road. The field features an intricate all-over design of stylized pomegranate trees arranged in a symmetrical, lattice-like structure. These pomegranate motifs—long regarded as symbols of fertility, prosperity, and spiritual unity—extend across the rug in mirrored formations, evoking a sense of rhythmic harmony and natural abundance. Their repeating form provides not only aesthetic order but also a spiritual resonance rooted in centuries of Central Asian symbolism. Executed in finely knotted silk, the rug’s surface reveals a luxurious sheen and a remarkably soft handle, underscoring its high-quality craftsmanship. The faded jade green ground is delicately offset by pomegranate motifs in soft burgundy and rust, further enriched by layered borders featuring rosettes, fretwork, and scrolling vine patterns. The borders, rendered in shades of celadon, rose, ivory, and muted teal, provide a subtle but structured frame for the organic interior. What distinguishes this Yarkand rug...
