• Lot Description:
  A rare Bezalel School of Art rug, Jerusalem, early 20th century
  229 x 120 cm
• Notes:
  An example of the rugs woven at the Bezalel School of Art in Jerusalem between 1906 and 1929, in what was then British-ruled Palestine. The academy had been set up to provide Jewish artists with a place to develop a distinctive style that would combine European traditions with those of the Ottoman empire, Central Asia, North Africa and Iran. The rug is inscribed with the word ‘Marbadiah’, the name given to the weaving workshop within the academy, and derived from ‘marvard’, the Hebrew word for carpet. This example is woven in the classical Persian manner, with a repeating design of rosettes, flower-heads and serrated leaves.
