ABOUT THIS PIECE
Mid-century Kerman ateliers delighted collectors with jewel-box Persian rugs that marry courtly elegance to village charm. This diminutive Persian carpet unfolds a night blue tree of life bursting with stylised blossoms while mirror-image peacocks (“morq”) preen among the stems. Fine, glossy wool pile rises crisply from a cotton foundation, giving each petal a sharp silhouette. Early chrome yellow and soft salmon pink sit beside indigo and light madder, creating a balanced, gently aged palette prized by connoisseurs of vintage Kerman rugs. At roughly 36 Raj (≈182 kpsi) the weave is precise yet resilient, allowing the panel to drape easily over a coffee table, hang as wall art, or greet guests as an entry accent. Floral motif rugs of this calibre remain sought after by interior designers seeking a collectible oriental rug with a romantic narrative.
