Vintage Persian Isfahan Ferdowsi Pictorial Rug 7 ft 2 in x 4 ft 3 in (2.18 m x 1.29 m) - Curated collection of antique, vintage and modern rugs Size: 7 ft 2 in x 4 ft 3 in (2.18 m x 1.29 m) Provenance: From a collection of a retired New York rug dealer Ferdowsi is shown seated beneath red drapery in this vintage Persian pictorial rug, surrounded by calligraphic borders and floral ornament. The composition has a portrait-like stillness: the figure, chair, book, and small garden details all direct attention toward the poet-scholar subject. Soft blue, ivory, red, green, and brown tones keep the image clear without feeling harsh. The literary theme and refined pictorial handling support the Isfahan attribution.
