Antique Kerman Persian Rug 43347

Antique Kerman, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – A phenomenally lavish allover design of palmettes unfolds with meticulous precision across the soft tan field of this sumptuous antique Persian Kerman. Most of the detail is rendered in mauve and sage, with minimal use of aubergine and deeper green as sparing accents for the palmettes themselves, so that the richness of the design is somewhat restrained or toned down. The main border adapts these forms as a vinescroll design, but against a dark ground that transforms their effect as a framing device, while the outer borders return to the tonality of the field.
