POA

Outstanding Indian carpet with a Persian Vase design.

The interpretation and presentation of the Vase design as seen in this magnificent Indian carpet has resulted in a highly decorative carpet closely linked in appearance to the original classical vase carpets and not related to technical structure. In true revivalist style of adaptation, the palmettes and floral elements are defined in a rhomboidal interlocking tile pattern. The palmettes are set in a formal arrangement presented in one orientation which presents a stately majestic image. The palmettes are linked by a vine lattice overlaying the wavy frames of each tile. This clever rendition breaks down the rigidity of the tiles creating a magnificent flowing composition. The pattern is displayed as an infinite repeat design whereby the tiles disappear behind the borders, easily visible on all sides of this Indian carpet where half tiles are visible. Indian weavers have access to an enormous extensive colour palette based on a tradition dating back to the 16th Century. This extensive palette allows for a large number of colours for the weavers to choose from to create the very best artistic representations, and based on tradition, the weavers have an in built understanding on using huge ranges of colour in any one piece. Shades of red, blue, salmon pink, green, brown, ochre, apricot and ivory are included in this Fine Indo Persian carpet, juxtaposed superbly to compliment the fine drawing of the pattern details and version of this Classical design. Lighter shades of colour are presented as the predominant background colours with the details presented in contrasting jewel like deeper tones thus creating a superb easily readable decorative composition.
