Fine Antique Persian Kirman Handmade Wool Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A late 19th century Persian Kirman (Kerman) antique carpet, having a blue and beige allover lozenge lattice of cusped medallions within a camel cartouche border.

During the sixteenth century, Shah Abbas I reportedly gave antique Kirman rugs embroidered with gold and silver thread as tribute to the Ottoman Court. The fame of these oriental weavings rapidly spread across Western Europe. From the mid sixteenth century through the eighteenth century, the city of Kirman was celebrated for 'vase' carpets, a term deriving from the depiction of vase motifs in many examples woven there. By the nineteenth century, Kirman was recognized for exceptional oriental rugs in the best Persian tradition.
