Offering tremendous originality in its mesmerizing design, this engaging turn of the 20th century Laver Kirman presents intricate traditional motifs in surprising, innovative ways. Demonstrating the profound technical mastery of this court rug's elite city weavers, incredible attention to detail is evident in every motif of this extremely finely crafted piece. At its center, a pendant adorned cruciform medallion is merely suggested through the clever application of bright royal blue in select blossoms as it integrates seamlessly into a field of 'Mille Fleur’, an admixture that produces a lively effervescence. Within this energetic matrix, seldom found shades of apricot, rose quartz, wheat and sparsely used precious jade green. Its fabulous heavier pile condition contributes mightily to this eloquent piece’s floor appeal.
