Item Details

With regard to quality and artistry, Kirman carpets represent the pinnacle of all Persian workshop pieces. The workshops of Kirman, well known for the high standard of their craftmanship, 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, and are often spotted in historic houses across Europe and the UK. They remain highly sought after by collectors and designers alike today, thanks to the combination of their faithfulness to the techniques and patterns of the Classical Era, and the creativity of their designs.


This fine antique Kirman carpet features an unusual all-over pattern, as opposed to the more conventional central medallion, which, combined with its creative use of colour, lends the work a wonderfully dynamic, spontaneous feel. The palette employed in its grade-scale design includes a wide range of vegetable dyed tones, including bottle green, faded bronze, ivory, burgundy and denim blue, set against a muted blue field that forms a wonderful backdrop. The uniformity of colour across the background and the wide main border gives the work a more controlled, balanced feel, despite its rich design.


In very good original condition, its colours have taken on a mellow patina with age.


A striking example, to suit a wide variety of settings.
