#7255 India Rug Signed Ghazan
This antique rug made in India in the last quarter of the 19th
century is signed Ghazan. It measures 10’2” x 16’2”. It is a fantastic
rug with a light sky blue field with images of Sheikh Masjid Mosque at Karunagappally Kollam in Kerala India at
either end of the field sitting on two raised platforms with calligraphy. It has a
medium-sized central medallion in very pale blue with pulled floral motif in pale gold and
ivory. There are four indigo colored urns containing lovely
floral motifs. The field has a very loose
scrolling vine and flower motif which looks rather Mogulish. There are four repeated
inscriptions in the field at either side of the medallion as well as in the base of the
minarets flanking the Mosque. A golden tobacco colored major border contains a shield and
palmette motif which is the centerpiece of a five reciprocal border layout. This is fabulous piece of woven art from the 19th
century. This rug is in mint condition. It is clean and ready to go. I’m sorry the rug is too large to fit in the
camera frame but it is complete. The buyer pays shipping with insurance of $150.
