Persian carpet painting (Torkman) – 93×73

Persian rug paintings are highly regarded for their cultural and aesthetic value. They are often displayed in galleries, and their price can vary depending on the artist, the complexity of the design, and the materials used. While Persian carpet weaving has historically been a collective and regional tradition, Persian carpet painting is more often associated with individual artists or schools of painting. The process of creating Persian rug paintings requires meticulous attention to detail and precision.  Some paintings may include depictions of mystical or symbolic scenes, representing the connection between the material and spiritual worlds.

Persian rug paintings often pay homage to the iconic designs of specific regions in Iran, where carpet weaving has a long tradition. The painting may be inspired by the rugs of famous carpet-producing cities like Isfahan, Kashan, Shiraz, Tabriz, or Heriz, which are known for their distinctive patterns and artistic styles. But this piece is made by the Turkmen.

Turkmen rugs are woven using high-quality wool, making them known for their softness and durability. They are typically woven using the symmetrical knot (or Turkish knot), which is known for creating a dense, durable texture. This piece is handmade, crafted from the finest wool, and features 200,000 knots per square meter. Piece is about forty years old, traditionally used as a shilte for sitting.

The deer is a prominent symbol in Turkmen art and folklore, particularly in the design of carpets and textiles. In some interpretations, the deer represents spiritual purity and connection with nature. In Persian rugs, the hunter often represents the strength, courage, and the pursuit of mastery over both the natural world and one’s own fate. The animals in these scenes, particularly the prey like deer, represent beauty, vitality, and the untamed forces of nature. The hunting motif is a fascinating and significant design element found in Persian rugs, particularly in the context of historical Persian carpet weaving. This motif, though not as common as floral or geometric patterns, appears in certain types of Persian rugs and is especially prominent in the carpets woven for royalty or the elite. The hunting motif often reflects the importance of hunting as a noble pursuit and is linked to themes of power, strength, and the connection between humans and nature. The symbol of the hunter and deer in this piece illustrates that the hunter is not pursuing the deer, but instead is enjoying the beauty and harmony of nature.

There is a Persian saying: ‘گوزن، شکارچی‌اش را می‌شناسد’ (Gavazn, shikarche-ash ra mishnasad),   which translates to: ‘The deer knows its hunter.‘”
