KURDISH, Northwest Persian
14' 10" x 23' 2" Late 19th Century Price: $92,000
(High-Decorative)
Startling clarity and a bright, deeply saturated natural palette bring a forceful energy to this extraordinarily creative Kurdish antique carpet. Offering palace size dimensions that are nearly never offered in antique carpets of the Kurdish style, this highly sought-after masterwork employs an entirely unique pattern of boldly rendered boteh (“seed of life”) forms, set upon a luminous pearl white base and supported by resonant shades of coral, sky blue and rich olive green. Excellent condition reinforces the attraction of this superb Persian folk art carpet.
