Kerman mat, early to mid 20th century
Measurements: 82cm x 61cm (2’8 x 2’)
174 Knots per inch
Price: £160
A finely knotted little Kerman mat with a european design. Perhaps not one for the purist but an attractive little piece with a carefully constructed pattern. There are quite a few colours too, at least three shades of blue and red which along with the fine knotting allows the weaver to create a tapestry like drawing. This is a robust piece that could bear the heaviest traffic.
Condition:
A little wear and many warp knots showing through. This is a more of a aesthetic concern than a condition one.
