LAVER KIRMAN
Southeast Persian Antique Carpet

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") In this brilliantly original Laver Kirman large room-size carpet, blossom-filled architectural escutcheons are seamlessly integrated into an innovative allover pattern, where a complex interplay of forms, like pieces of a divine puzzle, creates multiple planes of visual interest. The precision used in the drawing of numerous flowering species is breathtaking, while sophisticated gradations of color and layer upon layer of lush detail give botanically inspired forms an empyrean presence. Close inspection reveals engaging hues such as peach, plum, celadon, nutmeg, jade, paled rose, persimmon, absinthe, and lavender. A superbly balanced suite of borders reprises this attention to nuance and symmetry with bouquets in shield-like cartouches connected by undulating tendrils among a lush display of bounteous blooms. This extraordinarily stunning city carpet remains in extremely fine condition after over one and a quarter centuries of age.
