Unimaginable Variety of Floral Designs and Patterns

Floral or city carpets are woven with curvilinear patterns often with central medallions and reflect a close affinity with nature. They are intricately woven with a fine knot count and a colorful harmonious palate. The famous city carpets of Persia, like this beautiful Kerman, are almost always woven with floral motifs, but these organic forms can also be found elsewhere in the world. For example, this exceptional Indian Agra flaunts a series of palmettes and rosettes against a gorgeous sea green ground. Early 20th century Chinese Deco rugs are also famous for their floral arrangements as is exemplified in this oversize rug.
