Antique Kerman Rug, Persia – This magnificent antique Kerman runner showcases a superlative allover arabesque that fills the expansive field and flatters the extended composition. Earthy ochre borders embellished with reciprocating botanical motifs, feathery leaves and hairline details wind around the monumental rectangular field. This decorative warm-tone perimeter offsets the cool blue field and complements the earthen palmettes, decorative vases and delicate posies that punctuate the subtly colored arabesque. With its soft mineral-tone colors, lush curvilinear decorations and dramatic runner format, this stunning antique Kerman runner represents the epitome of form and function by combining purely artistic decorations with carefully chosen colors and luxurious materials.
