(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") With breathtaking delicacy of color and design, this evocative Laver Kirman is a rare late 19th-century capture of the sensitivity found in the Persian Court carpets from the first half of the 19th century. An expansive grand medallion radiates across the central field like the rose window of a Gothic cathedral leading to trefoil pendants. Diverse flowering boughs hang from delicate branches that elegantly envelop the field in quiet, sparkling splendor. A very finely knotted weave intensifies the carefully rendered detail work of the minute floral forms, giving the composition great depth and texture. The color palette is a multiverse of hues that may not be readily apparent at first glance: deep blue-violet, ecru, persimmon, mulberry, goldenrod, and flashes of bright citrine are but a few of the hues employed here. This chromatic experience is augmented by the attentive application of abrash color shifts, most notably in the upper half of the carpet. The main border is like a cherry orchard in full springtime bloom, with cypresses positioned at intervals like watchful sentinels.
