Design & Historical Influence;
Kerman Vase carpets are celebrated for their complex, richly detailed compositions, often used in Persian royal courts and ceremonial halls. This rug's intricate floral and palmette arrangements are symmetrically balanced along the central vertical axis but are not mirrored horizontally, giving the composition a dynamic and organic feel.
Signature Vase Motif: A hallmark of Kerman weaving, featuring ornate vases from which floral arrangements emerge
Intricate Floral & Palmette Design: Includes sickle leaves, trees, mythical simurghs, fountains, and a variety of naturalistic birds
Influence from Persian Miniature Painting: Depictions of cypress trees entwined with flowering prunus, reminiscent of Safavid manuscript art
Birds & Mythological Creatures: Features peacocks, parrots, birds of prey, ducks, storks, and simurghs, intricately placed within the vines and foliage
The birds in this design are not just decorative elements but an integral part of the composition, reflecting the Safavid court's fascination with naturalism, as seen in tilework, textiles, and illuminated manuscripts.
Artistic & Historical Significance;
This Kerman Vase-Technique Carpet draws inspiration from one of the rarest groups of Persian carpets, sharing similarities with renowned pieces such as the Clark-Corcoran Sickle-Leaf carpet, the Gulbenkian carpet in Lisbon, and the Rothschild carpet, each showcasing a unique interpretation of the Vase technique.
Connection to the Royal Courts of Persia: These carpets were used as dias covers, with thrones placed at one end, creating an illusion of sitting in the center of a vast, extended carpet.
Dynamic Design: The vertical arrangement of elements, including cypress trees, palmettes, and mythical creatures, suggests this carpet was commissioned for ceremonial or royal use.
Exceptional Draughtsmanship: The finest Vase carpets were likely created under court patronage, requiring skilled designers and master weavers.
The symbolic richness of this rug, combined with its faithful revival of the original design, makes it a true collector’s piece.

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...
