Ararat Rugs Kerman Vase Technique Carpet 17th Century Revival Rug, Natural Dyed

About the Item

The design source of the carpet comes from the book by Dimand, Maurice S., and Jean Mailey. Oriental Rugs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1973. no. 38, p. 110, ill. This is a vase technique with rows of flowers carpet designed in the 17th century from the Kerman region, Persia. Large floral forms are arranged diagonally on vines which create these ogival systems. Known as “vase-carpets” by the sporadic presence of vases in the pattern, these carpets traditionally have four vertical rows of flowers. Although some “vase” carpets are attributed to the sixteenth century, this one probably dates from the seventeenth century on the basis of the border design and the comparatively simplified drawing of the flowers in the field. The most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.

Ararat Rugs Kerman Vase Technique Carpet 17th Century Revival Rug, Natural Dyed
By Ararat Rugs
Located in Tokyo, JP
The source of carpet comes from the book Museo Calouste Gulbenkian, Printed by Gulbenkian Museum Lisbon, in 2015, nr.52. This is a vase-technique carpet design in the 17th century in the Kerman region, of Persia. In the 16th century, in Safavid Persia, medallion rugs were among the most appreciated, but at the end of the century and the beginning of the next, a taste for decoration with floral motifs, coils, and palmettes gradually emerged, covering the entire field. This is the case, for this example design, with rugs from eastern and southern Persia. Among the latter are the famous vase-type rugs attributed to the Kerman region, to which our design belongs. Considered by some specialists to be quite atypical, this rug made in Persia, probably in Kirman in the time of Shah Abbas (1587-1625), presents, on a dark blue background, an exuberant and dynamic vegetal decoration in which horizontal and vertical rows of palmettes and stand out, due to their dimension and spiral movements, large sickle-shaped leaves, alternating with branches and flowers. The very narrow rim, with a red background, is filled with a frieze of coils and flowers. It’s a famous carpet design as ‘Kerman Vase Technique Rug, The Most Expensive Rug...
