(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery")
Exquisite Persian Laver Kirman runners woven in the 19th-century are virtually never available, making this profoundly artistic High-Collectible-Caliber runner a dream find for the collector of fine art. The highly engaging pattern centers on large lobed medallions flanked by large palemette-pendants, which repeat down the long field. This echoes one of the classic designs used in Laver Kirman, a great weaving center known for producing mainly large rugs, from room-size to palace-size, in which a large central medallion is accompanied by two diminutive pendants. The dramatic use of half-medallions and pendants along the edges gives the impression that the patterns extend into a much larger design beyond the borders. The breath-taking filigree drawing is ultra-refined, while strong color contrasts create a striking sense of definition. The extraordinary and highly sophisticated color palette of this visually captivating 150-year-old runner includes tantalizing shades of scarlet-red, deep indigo, fuchsia, lemon chiffon, emerald, royal blue, cochineal, bronze, lime, and delicate aqua. In a charming final touch, Birds of Paradise are hidden, nestled in the abundant blooming florettes and palmettes.
