Antique Persian Kilim Rug, late nineteenth century
This striking antique Persian kilim has considerable power and presence, not only in the boldly drawn medallion design, but especially in the varied, rich coloration. The floral details are strongly stylized or abstracted allowing the weaver's sense of geometry to prevail. The various design elements are grand in scale, especially in relation to the overall size. A masterpiece of village weaving. |
