10x14 Persian Rug

Item Description

  • Type: Persian Rug
  • Size: 10x14 feet
  • Material: Wool pile on a cotton foundation (based on visual inspection of the weave)
  • Origin: Likely Iran (formerly Persia)
  • Design: Traditional floral and medallion motif with intricate borders. Central medallion pattern with a rich red field and navy blue borders.
  • Condition: Good, with some visible wear, fading in high-traffic areas, and minor repairs.
  • Age Estimate: Mid-20th century (likely 1940s-1960s based on the design, color palette, and weaving style).

Historical Background

Persian rugs are highly regarded for their intricate patterns, fine craftsmanship, and durability. The design on this rug is reminiscent of traditional Tabriz or Kashan styles, both originating from well-known weaving centers in Iran. The presence of detailed floral motifs and a distinctive central medallion suggests it was likely created for export or as a high-end decorative piece for a well-appointed home.

Condition Assessment

  • Wear and Tear: Noticeable fading in some areas, especially in the red field. This is common in older Persian rugs and does not heavily impact value unless the pile is excessively worn.
  • Repairs: Some minor repairs visible in the border pattern; these appear to be professionally done and blend well with the original design.
  • Fringe/Edges: The fringe appears to be intact but may have been trimmed over time.
  • Pile Condition: Moderate wear with some areas appearing more flattened.

Estimated Value

  • Retail Value (for Sale in an Antique Shop or Specialized Rug Dealer): $1,500 - $2,500 CAD
  • Auction Value (at a general auction or estate sale): $800 - $1,200 CAD
  • Insurance Replacement Value: $2,500 - $3,000 CAD

Factors Influencing Value

  1. Size: Large Persian rugs are desirable but harder to place in modern homes, which can reduce demand slightly.
  2. Condition: While showing some wear, this rug remains in good condition with no major structural damage.
  3. Design and Color: The rich red field and detailed floral patterns are attractive to collectors.
  4. Provenance and Origin: Rugs from major weaving centers such as Kashan, Tabriz, or Isfahan generally hold higher value.

Recommendations

  1. Professional Cleaning: A professional rug cleaning service can improve color vibrancy and help preserve the fibers.
  2. Appraisal for Insurance: If you intend to insure this piece, a professional appraisal from a certified rug specialist is advisable.
  3. Display Care: To maintain its value, avoid direct sunlight and consider rotating the rug occasionally to prevent uneven wear.
