The design of this lavish antique Kerman rug from Persia is so finely detailed and complex that one can barely grasp its constituent elements.
Antique Kerman Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Turn of the 20th Century – Here is a beautiful and compelling antique Oriental rug – an antique Kerman carpet that was hand woven in Persia in the years immediately following the turn of the twentieth century. The Kerman style is one of the most important and popular of all antique Persian rug styles, and is celebrated by collectors and admirers of antique Oriental carpets for its dyed in the wool classicism. The design of this lavish antique Persian Kerman rug is so finely detailed and complex that one can barely grasp its constituent elements – vases in staggered arrangement spewing flowering branches and vines that spread gracefully across the mid blue ground of the field. The same elements are arranged in a linear repeat to make up the border, and with the same cinnamon and mid blue palette of the field. The result is a remarkably unified decorative effect despite the constant variation of the pattern. A beautifully woven example, this antique Kerman carpet from Persia is a wonderful iteration of an important and appealing antique rug style.
