Antique Kerman Persian Rug 42520

42520  Antique Kerman,  Persia, 1870s - A delicately drawn Herati pattern in shades of soft blue and cocoa spreads with elegant precision across the soft gold ground of this exquisite and exceptionally early antique Kerman.  Multiple thin vinescroll borders on the same gold ground take the place of one large one, thereby preserving the delicacy, scale, and palette of the field design, and giving the entire piece a lovely decorative unity.
