| Antique Persian Kerman Rug, late nineteenth century
An elegantly decorative tree of life emerges from an ornamental vase and spreads gracefully across the abrashed blue and green field of this lush antique Kerman. Arabesque cornerpieces echo the gentle spiraling and rich floral detail of the tree and its branches. The vinescroll main border on an ivory cream ground continues the details and the rhythms of the tree in a more patterned arrangement, while the red ground minor borders play off the red of the cornerpieces. |
