Kerman, an old city in south-east Persia, is celebrated for the refinement of its carpets and the imaginative beauty of its floral designs. Its weavers and designers have developed a distinctive way with stylised flowers, creating compositions of remarkable delicacy and grace.
This finely woven example, dating from circa the 1940s, brings that tradition beautifully to life. A luminous floral medallion rests against a deep navy field, surrounded by flowering sprays, curling leaves and intricate ornamental forms. Soft pink, pale blue, ivory and green stand out against the dark background, while the richly detailed border completes the composition.
The colour combinations, the contrast and the extraordinary attention to detail give this carpet a magnificent presence. It has the elegance one might associate with a palace interior, a quality expressed through its intricacy, fineness and, above all, its beauty. A splendid piece that could bring grace and richness to a generously proportioned room.
Wool on a cotton foundation.
