About the Item

Authentic 1900s Persian Kirman botanic handmade wool carpet Size: 9'9" × 15'3" (297 × 464 cm) An early 20th century Persian Kirman rug, the midnight blue with a highly structured design of enlarged graceful cartouches forming a compartmentalized pattern overall, the cartouches with floral motifs within a camel floral motif border. During the 16th century, Shah Abbas I reportedly gave antique Kirman rugs embroidered with gold and silver thread as tribute to the ottoman court. The fame of these oriental weavings rapidly spread across Western Europe. From the mid-16th century through the eighteenth century, the city of Kirman was celebrated for ‘vase’ antique carpets, a term deriving from the depiction of vase motifs in many examples woven there. By the 19th century, Kirman was recognized for exceptional oriental rugs in the best Persian tradition. Persian rugs of this period, especially the Lavar group woven in the town of Ravar, are known for their fine weave, delicate drawing, incomparable range of color, and are still much in demand today. Very advanced relative to their fellow countrymen, Kirman weavers had learned to set their looms so that the cotton warps were on two different levels. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
