#7301 Laver Kerman

This circa 1920 Laver Kerman measures 9’7” X 13’3”. This is what they call a crowded Kerman.  It is completely covered in design.  It has a central medallion composed of a ring of flowers around a four pointed star surrounded by a leafy garland.  This is working against a backdrop of vines, weeping willows, and flowers, flowers, flowers.   This rug is so overdrawn that one cannot put two fingers together and place them anywhere on this rug without touching design.  The rug has several colors of blue from pale sky blue to navy blue, innumerable shades of red from pink to maroon, and greens from pale yellow green to the color of spinach.  This rug has it all!   All is encompassed with a medium blue border with flower heads such as peonies, chrysanthemums and roses interspersed with the cloudband motif.  There are three sets of her reciprocal minor borders, one on a green ground, one with a pink ground and one with an ivory ground.  The ends and sides are complete.  This rug is full pile. It is extremely finely woven. It is clean and ready to go.  The buyer pays shipping with insurance of $125.00.
