(High-Decorative) (“Winter 2019 New Acquisition“)This exquisitely embellished Laver Kirman rug boasts the extraordinary complexity for which this genre is renowned. Abhoring spaciousness, the weaver placed finely drawn flowers in a myriad of sizes covering every square inch. The etched drawing of the central medallion is particularly exciting with its dramatic juxtaposition of near black midnight blues combined with brushstrokes of brilliant ivory highlights. Together they thoroughly animate the entire composition with a sense of circular movement that extends even into its borders. Also tantalizing are the rich shades of cranberry red and warm buff. This sophisticated turn-of-the-20th-century rug offers heavy pile to enjoy many decades of enjoyment. Learn About This Rug Type
