LAVER KIRMAN, Southeast Persian
9' 0" x 13' 7" Late 19th Century Price: $14,500
(Decorative)
This exquisite antique Laver Kirman boasts a rhythmic, expertly rendered classical paisley motif on a lush field bursting with delicately drawn flowers in stunning clarity. The harmonious, subtly nuanced color palette of this resplendent Persian city carpet is further enhanced by the intentional color shifts (a technique known as abrash.) This enhances the sense of visual depth throughout the entire piece, and is especially notably in the main and secondary borders. This nearly 140-year-old antique rug is in exceedingly good condition for its age with even moderate pile.
