Oversize Vintage Persian Kirman Rug, circa 1920 13'8 x 19'5

About the Item

Vintage Persian Kirman rug, circa 1920. Size: 13'8 x 19'5. This Kirman comes from the period when designs were in transition from traditional Persian patterns to those influenced by western tastes. The beige field is covered by curving leave boteh fantastic flowers blooming flowers and all manner of botanic ornaments. Kirman designers have fertile imaginations and old and antique pieces are usually one of a kind unlike rugs from other areas which tend to follow fixed design trends instead of a rigid frame. The border has been broken by a vine enclosing complex bouquet. Kirman carpets are hard to describe and easier to appreciate in person or through large-scale photos. The pile is of excellent locally sourced wool reputedly the best carpet wool in Persia.

Vintage Persian Kirman Rug 5'1 x 8'10
Located in New York, NY
Vintage Persian Kirman rug. Size: 5'1 x 8'10. This attractive and tonally muted Kirman from southeast Persia was woven when densely covered grounds were particularly popular. The field color is a soft light teal with accents of dark brown, old gold, ivory and light green. The main border is equally filled with flowering vines and other elements repeating those of the field. Almost randomly, motives outlined in dark brown seem to drift in and out of focus. The all-over pattern has rosettes, leaves and layers of vines. The color variation or abrash is fairly subtle and is not the usual horizontal band variety, all too obvious in carpets with diverse dye lots. The soft, almost feminine palette makes this rug ideal for a boudoir, dressing room or bed chamber...
