Persian-Jewish Rug - Shiviti, Biblical Scenes and Emblems of the Tribes of Israel - Tabriz, 1940s
A pictorial Shiviti rug depicting biblical scenes and the emblems of the twelve tribes of Israel. [Tabriz, Iran, 1940s.]
Wool and silk knot-pile; cotton foundation.
The carpet’s design shows various biblical scenes, set in an arch spanning the entire width of the rug and divided into three panels by stylized columns: the Tablets of the Law flanked by cherubs, Moses drawing water from stone and, in another scene, carrying the Tablets of the Law, Aaron the High Priest, the binding of Isaac, and Elijah the prophet riding a chariot of fire. The biblical scenes are separated by panels inscribed with verses and quotes, some relating to the scenes. The top of the central panel depicts a shining sun, under which appears the traditional Shiviti inscription (Hebrew): "I have placed the Lord before me constantly." The emblems of the twelve tribes of Israel appear in the arch; the emblem of Gad is replaced by a Zionist flag.
108X141 cm. Good condition. Minor fraying to edges. Suspension strap sewn to upper edge, on verso.
Literature: Jewish Carpets, by Anton Felton. Woodbridge: Antique Collectors' Club, 1997, p. 64.
Provenance: The Anton Felton Collection.
