LAVER KIRMAN, Southeast Persian
9' 9" x 13' 2" Late 19th Century Price: $40,000
(High-Decorative)
Resplendent and refined as only the finest antique classical Persian Laver Kirmans can be, this very finely crafted late 19th-century large room-size carpet offers a dramatic, yet graceful overscale medallion design that would dramatically enhance the most stately of rooms. Against a clear ivory field and main border, a palette dominant by scarlet red and cobalt blue is counterbalanced by the softest apricot, dusty rose, and powder blue, all of which serve to enhance the regality of this opulent Oriental carpet's spaciously placed design. This late 19th-century Persian floral carpet is in wonderful, higher pile condition at well over a century of age, making it the ideal solution for a heavily used room.
