QUALITY: KIRMAN LAVER NICHE DESIGN RUG WITH A BLOSSOMING VASE, SOUTHEAST PERSIA, CIRCA 1850
IN STOCK: 5’3 × 7’9
An extremely fine Kirman rug of the Laver type, distinguished by a directional design consisting of an ivory niche enclosing at its base a large blue vase from which sprouts a rich blossom of flowers, leaves and elaborate palmettes of various shapes as well as pomegranates (symbol of fertility). Flanking the base of the vase are a pair of small goats. The composition is framed by an elaborately drawn cartouche and rosette motif. The rug conveys a feeling of preciousness. Even the larger format suggests that it was woven as a special commission to a very experienced designer, who in turn created it in a prestigious workshop.
