An early Laver Kirman carpet with a rare light sky-blue field and a harmonious vegetable-dyed colour composition which has aged nicely. The remarkable tight weave explains the clarity of the drawing. A timeless classic to blend in a wide variety of settings.
The city of Kirman in north-east Persia has been the centre of fine rug weaving since the 17th century and enjoyed a renaissance in the 19th century when rug weaving became more widespread. The city then established itself once again as a centre of high category weaving in the best Persian tradition. 19th century Kirman carpets, particularly those in the Laver group, are known for their technically superior weaves, delicate drawings and an incomparable range of varied colours. They are highly sought after and are often seen in grand historic houses in Europe and the UK.
Has some slight age-related patina/wear but otherwise is in good practical condition.
