The Kevorkoff Carpet

The source of the carpet comes from the book The Kevorkoff Carpet, Hali Magazine 1994 Issue 73. This is a large and brilliantly colored, derivation from a vase carpet, an 18th-century rug from the North-west Persia area. As mentioned in the Hali magazine article by Ian Bennett, the original size is about 5m in height, two large vases appear in the center of the field at the top and bottom and other typical vase carpet features are recognizable including large Shah Abbas palmettes and huge curving sickle leaves. Our one-vase carpet design makes an interesting composition with a size available of 3.5m. The most appropriate colors to match the original is used for this rug.
