Kerman · circa 1930

Kerman rug, garden drawing

Price on request

210 × 140 cm · 6′11″ × 4′7″

A small interwar Kerman drawn like a page from a garden album: cypress, blossom and birds arranged with the draughtsman's confidence the city was famous for, in a palette of rose, sage and champagne.

Kermans of this scale were woven as cabinet pieces and gifts. This one reads beautifully on a wall as well as underfoot.

Each piece is one of one, acquired personally on your behalf. Online acquisitions open with the release of our inaugural collection; enquiries are welcomed now. Fully insured delivery within the United Kingdom and Europe.
