Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs

Size: 6 ft 11 in x 4 ft 11 in (2.11 m x 1.5 m)

Provenance: From late Donald Gant collection, purchased at Christie's Lot# 129 Nov 2023

Catalogued as a 17th-century silk Persian Polonaise rug, this piece has a pale, age-softened surface and a refined compartment-style design. The field shows delicate cartouches, floral devices, and soft blue ornament set within a broad layered border of ivory, tan, brown, and muted gold. The pattern reads quietly now, but the underlying drawing remains elegant and historically rich. Its silk attribution, early date, and softened palette make it a notable collector’s textile.
