Description
ISPAHAN carpet on silk warp, signed ‘SEIRAFIAN’
Iran. Shah era, mid-20th century.
Wool pile on a silk foundation.
An oblong ivory field featuring arabesques, covered with floral scrolls of multicoloured corollas in a spiralling pattern, supports a magnificent star-shaped floral rosette in ivory, ruby, navy, sky blue and old gold, with its arrow-shaped pendants. Four exquisite, curving spandrels featuring foliage in sky blue, ruby red and ivory frame the composition. Four navy and ivory counter-borders, featuring garlands of leafy blossoms, encircle the main ruby-coloured border, which features a succession of blooming corollas set upon polychrome interlacing plant motifs.
Signed in Persian within the kilim, inside an ivory cartouche framed in Iranian colours. A sublime colour palette and design of the highest calibre.
