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

About the Item

Introducing the exquisite Kerman Vase-Technique Carpet from Ararat Rugs, a masterful revival of the renowned 16th-century Sickle-Leaf carpets, such as the one housed in the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon. This handcrafted piece captures the essence of Safavid-era artistry, featuring intricate designs and a rich color palette that pays homage to its historical predecessors. Dimensions and Craftsmanship: Size: 6 feet 7 inches x 10 feet 4 inches (201 cm x 317 cm) Materials: Natural dyed, hand-spun wool for the pile; wool on wool for the warp and weft Weaving Technique: Symmetrical knots on depressed warp inclining to the right, with a density of 50x50 knots per square decimeter and a pile height of 3 mm Origin: Handwoven in Adıyaman, Turkey Color Palette: This rug boasts a harmonious blend of 11 natural colors, each derived from traditional dyeing methods: Navy Blue 432: A deep blue achieved from indigo and pomegranate Dark Sienna 431: A rich brown obtained from madder root Red Oxide 438: A vibrant red from synthetic dye Olive Green 425: A warm green derived from Dyer's weed Pine Tree 420: A deep green from a combination of henna and indigo Turquoise 330: A bright turquoise produced using spurge, madder root, indigo, and walnut hulls Emerald Green 407: A vivid green from chamomile and indigo Natural Wool Color 320: The undyed, natural color of the wool Jericho Jade 25: A soft jade hue achieved from spurge and indigo Green Blue 344: A teal shade from spurge, madder root, and indigo Mettwurst 541: A muted red from madder root Design and Symbolism: The Persian Vase Rug is distinguished by its intricate sickle-leaf motifs, vine scrolls, and palmettes, reminiscent of the Safavid period's 'Vase' technique carpets. These elements are thoughtfully arranged to create a harmonious and balanced composition, reflecting the sophistication of 16th-century Persian artistry. Historical Context: Sickle-leaf carpets from the Safavid era are celebrated for their complex designs and exceptional craftsmanship. Notable examples include the Clark Sickle-Leaf Carpet and the piece housed in the Gulbenkian Museum, both of which have significantly influenced the appreciation of Persian textile art. The Persian Vase Rug by Ararat Rugs is a contemporary homage to these masterpieces, preserving their timeless beauty for modern interiors. Availability and Pricing: Weighing approximately 17.2 kg, this Persian Vase Rug is currently available in Ararat Rugs' Tokyo showroom and is priced at $32,600.

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...
