Antique Kerman rug from Persia, late 19th centuryA grand, richly detailed medallion floats serenely on an open field surrounded by lush vinescroll cornerpieces on this antique Kerman masterpiece of classic Persian design. The lovely soft red tones of the medallion complement the accenting dark ground of the cornerpieces, while they both contrast beautifully with the soft champagne of the intervening ground. The contrasts recur on a smaller, finer scale in the multiple small borders, nicely balancing the monumentality of the field.
