Antique Kerman Persian Rug 42371

Antique Kerman Rug, Persia, late nineteenth century - An allover design of finely drawn, delicately interlacing vines and flowers graces the soft champagne gold field of this supremely elegant antique Kerman. The thin proportion of the vines yields pride of place to the elegantly stylized palmettes, which also appear in the border, but set against a dark blue ground that provides a framing contrast to the field. The decorative sensibility of this carpet is simply superb.
