This urban, well-woven NW Persian carpet is a good interpretation of a 17th century Kerman:” Vase carpet” design with the field completely covered with shaped reserves enclosing irises, petal palmettes, vases, flowering shrubs of various varieties, lotus palmettes, rosettes and colorful cones. Wide color palette. Light slate blue border of tilted petal palmettes, octofoils and square floret arrays. Short and brisk pile. Good condition.
