Item Description
Fine 19th Century Laver Kirman Rug
2.08 x 1.46 m
Laver Kirman carpets are among the most highly prized, and most unique, of all Persian workshop pieces. The workshops of Kirman, well known for the high quality of their weavings, won the royal patronage of the Safavid court in the 17th Century, and became some of the earliest Oriental carpets to make their way into the Western market. Later on, its weavers, in turn, took a certain influence from European textile traditions, incorporating a distinct palette, inspired by the colours of Classical French carpets.
This fine Laver Kirman rug features an unusually restrained, spacious composition with floral motifs in muted ochre red and tan tones over a faded bronze colour field, framed by a wide, decorative border - a remarkably open, well-balanced layout, especially for a piece of this smaller format. Being an earlier work, it boasts high-grade wool and delicate vegetable-dyed colours, which have taken on a warm patina with age.
Retained in very good practical condition for everyday use, with its borders preserved on all sides.
An elegant accent rug, to add character and charm to any interior.
