Admirers of the craft will recognize this as an extremely special, collectible piece, both from one of the most revered Persian provenances and for its execution of the paisley motif in this astounding large size

To see paisleys woven in such a fashion, with this many colors and in this particular scale and near-palace size, is a wonder—exemplar of Kerman rugs among those we know of similar provenance today.
