The best qualities of Kerman Ravar weaving are on show here, in this attractive pictorial masterpiece. High knotting density and a gorgeous Millefleurs backdrop offer a dramatic foundation for the pictorial Omar Khayyam scene in the middle.
Beautiful colors, with the much loved Kerman greens and sky blues that are not that easy to find, and a fine weave combine for a highly successful artwork. The finesse of craftsmanship is evident in the razor thin warps at each end, with full kilim component and lush, long fringes dangling out.
Perfect condition, signed and dated by the master artist
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealerβs description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
