This particular example is a fascinating manifestation of the Kerman style, long one of the most important and popular antique Persian rug styles. Among the more classically oriented styles, Kerman rugs often feature highly sophisticated floral compositions that are especially precisely woven. This particular example, despite measuring just around two and half feet both horizontally and vertically, beautifully encapsulates these important Persian Kerman characteristics. A delightful floral arrangement, remarkable for the precision of its weaving, creates a soothing and intriguing impression against the dark field.
