About the Item
Classical Persian carpet design often followed the art of book binding and illuminated manuscript. Many of the best manuscript painters in the 16th and 17th centuries translated their works on paper into immaculate carpet designs for the most sophisticated urban carpet studios. This stunning example of weaving from the Lavar workshops of Southeast Persia at the turn-of-the-century is just such an example. The repeating field pattern of cartouches recalls many of the earlier carpets of the Timrud and Safavid dynasties. Interspersed with cloud bands and arabesques, the overall design of this carpet is a positive delight to the eyes. This carpet is woven in an extremely Fine knot density, with an asymmetrical knot and fully depressed cotton warps and cotton and silk wefts. The fineness of the weave allows for gentle details and small-scale fully articulate design language.
