A number of beautiful pictorial rugs, straight from the master weavers who specialize in making them, are now available at our rug gallery in Thornhill.
The Persian Pictorial Rugs we offer at Mondart have all been handwoven from wool, cotton and/or silk, coloured using naturally sourced dyes from vegetables or minerals. Every rug was created in Tabriz, a major rug weaving centre in Iran. Known for an illustrious history in the art that extends back several centuries, the city of Tabriz creates a limited number of beautiful handwoven rugs annually that duplicate the images of well known paintings and carvings. You may consider Pictorial Rugs, also known as Rug Paintings, as basically woven manifestations of artwork that exists in other forms. They are different from the typical designs of traditional Persian Rugs, where there may be a central medallion, borders and motifs that repeat themselves to produce a pattern.
Needless to say, this type of rug requires the precision and accuracy that only a
highly experienced weaver possesses. Each accurately coloured yarn knotted onto the foundation of the rug must be precisely placed to replicate its model, as realistically as possible. They are truly works of art that have the potential of becoming precious heirlooms within your family.
Popular Pictorial Rugs include replicates of paintings that capture a scene in nature, portraits of famous figures, and abstract or surreal images. Historic statues and carvings are also popular. These are all available at Mondart.
Pictorial Rugs may serve beautifully as floor coverings, however they tend to be on the smaller side. They are pre-framed for your convenience, in the same way a painting would be – ready to be hung on the wall for your enjoyment. From afar, you may not even be able to tell that it is in fact a woven art piece, which tells you how fine the quality of craftsmanship is. But don’t take our word for it; you be the judge.
