Size: 12 ft 8 in x 18 ft (3.86 m x 5.49 m)
Origin: Persian Rugs

A latticework fills this antique Persian rug with warm, autumnal tones and a distinctly botanical shrub design rug theme. A golden medallion rests in the middle of the antique Kurdish rug, formed of a tilted diamond that appears to have sprouted a pair of leaves, one at the top and one below. A quartet of trees ringed by small flowers rests within the sunny shape. Around this, the lattice unfurls, each strut made from yellow and green leaves with jagged edges, displaying small, round flowers where they meet. The diamonds formed by this pattern each contain floral figures, from trees and bushes to ferns or sprays of tiny, perfectly stitched blossoms. A set of borders encloses the central field of this Shrub design antique rug, twined with vines and flowers in bright colors.

The main border of the rug is proportionally smaller than the area taken up by the field of this breathtaking early rug, which highlights it as a supporting element that is used to frame the central design. The bright red of the main border contrasts with the darker background of the field.

Although the central medallion has a distinctive balanced design, the same repetition and balance does not carry out through the rest of the field.
