{"product_id":"kerman-vase-technique-carpet-art00528","title":"Kerman Vase-Technique Carpet","description":"The source of carpet comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eMuseo Calouste Gulbenkian, Printed by Gulbenkian Museum Lisbon, in 2015, nr.52\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a vase-technique carpet design in the 17th century in the Kerman region, of Persia. In the 16th century, in Safavid Persia, medallion rugs were among the most appreciated, but at the end of the century and the beginning of the next, a taste for decoration with floral motifs, coils, and palmettes gradually emerged, covering the entire field. This is the case, for this example design, with rugs from eastern and southern Persia. Among the latter are the famous vase-type rugs attributed to the Kerman region, to which our design belongs. Considered by some specialists to be quite atypical, this rug made in Persia, probably in Kirman in the time of Shah Abbas (1587-1625), presents, on a dark blue background, an exuberant and dynamic vegetal decoration in which horizontal and vertical rows of palmettes and stand out, due to their dimension and spiral movements, large sickle-shaped leaves, alternating with branches and flowers. The very narrow rim, with a red background, is filled with a frieze of coils and flowers. It's a famous carpet design as 'Kerman Vase Technique Rug, The Most Expensive Rug Sold at Auction (33m. USD), Sold on June 5th, 2013 at Sotheby’s Auction in NYC'. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and vivid colors are chosen for this rug. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  11 colors in total;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNavy Blue \u003c\/strong\u003e 432 (Indigo - Pomegranate)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCongo Pink \u003c\/strong\u003e 306 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Specially Washed)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Sienna \u003c\/strong\u003e 402 (Madder Root - Pomegranate - Spurge - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDusty Turquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 340 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow Green\u003c\/strong\u003e 419 (Henna - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRussian Green \u003c\/strong\u003e 418 (Henna - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCadet Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarrissma \u003c\/strong\u003e 161 (Cochineal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eFor more information about our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColors.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700745535784,"sku":"ART00528","price":32000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00528_V-scaled_v2.jpg?v=1776121867","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/kerman-vase-technique-carpet-art00528","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
