EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century carpet, hailing from the city of Kirman in Iran, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Persian textile design. The intricately woven piece, created around the year 1601/25, is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of its unknown maker. The carpet's design is a breathtaking floral motif, featuring a vibrant array of colors and hues. The primary fabric is made of cotton and wool, with the distinctive Persian sehna knots used to create the soft, plush pile. These knots were formed by wrapping the weft around the warp threads, a technique that required immense skill and patience. The carpet's design is a feast for the eyes, with a myriad of floral patterns intertwining and harmonizing in a captivating display of symmetry and balance. The colors, still vibrant after centuries, add depth and dimension to the piece, making it a true masterpiece of the textile world. Originating from the Art Institute of Chicago, this carpet is a cherished addition to any art collection or gallery. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see object for anyone interested in the arts, textiles, or the rich cultural heritage of Iran and Persia. The carpet's soft, plush texture invites touch, making it a desirable addition to any home or office as a decorative piece or a conversation starter. Its beauty and craftsmanship are a reminder of the artistic traditions that have been passed down through generations, making it a valuable and timeless piece of art and history.
