Lot Essay

The design of this carpet clearly derives from that of "vase carpets" of the seventeenth century (May H. Beattie: Carpets of Central Persia, Sheffield, 1976, nos.54-57, pp.79-81). When compared to other North West Persian carpets of the same period, the execution here is particularly close to that of the Kirman originals.
