Imperial Majesty — Antique Larestan Rug from India (15′3″ × 30′)
A monumental masterpiece of scale and craftsmanship, this antique Larestan rug from India (15′3″ × 30′) commands attention with regal confidence and museum-worthy detail. Its sprawling medallion design unfolds in a lavish composition of carnelian red, saffron gold, and parchment ivory, with intricate floral scrolls and stylized animal figures forming an opulent tapestry of symbolism and artistry.
The vast central field is anchored by an ornate ivory medallion that radiates like a celestial sunburst, surrounded by arabesque tendrils and a host of mythical motifs. The wide golden border is richly decorated with interlaced vines and blossoms, framed by narrow guards in deep garnet and umber for contrast and containment.
Woven entirely from fine wool, this piece reflects centuries-old Persian design tradition reinterpreted by Indian weavers at a colossal scale. It’s an heirloom-worthy centerpiece for grand halls, stately ballrooms, luxury hotels, or collectors seeking a statement of timeless splendor.
