ABOUT THIS PIECE
A strong muharammat Persian kilim from Sirjan, woven in two joined panels with the classic wolf-tooth inner border. Brick madder, olive, charcoal and ivory march in rhythmic stripes, punctuated by tidy ivory brocade devices that recall Afshar grammar. The colours read as natural, with quiet abrash that gives the Persian rug depth rather than glare. Handle is supple and durable, thanks to a wool-on-wool construction that sits flat and welcomes daily use. At nearly three by two metres, the piece anchors a living room, dining space or layered gallery interior, pairing easily with timber, stone and contemporary furniture. This vintage Persian carpet delivers graphic presence without shouting, carrying the calm cadence of Sirjan nomad weaving into an Australian home.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
290 × 181 CM (9'6" × 5'11"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
A 3-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 35 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
The chairs sit on the rug at the table, but with 51 cm of rug beyond the table their back legs catch the edge when pulled out. 60 cm is the comfortable margin.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 54 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
