A graceful tree of life design unfolds within an open field with flowering cornerpieces on this supremely elegant and reserved antique Oriental Kerman carpet from Persia.

Finely Woven Floral Vase Pattern Antique Persian Kerman Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Late 19th century – A graceful tree of life design unfolds on this antique Persian rug within an open tan field enclosed by dark blue flowering corner-pieces on this supremely elegant and reserved antique Kerman rug. The various flowers blossom forth from the tree in a lovely array  of colors – soft reds, lavender, pale, blues and greens, and tans. These tones recur in the corner-pieces along with a rich saffron shade. The vine-scroll borders are narrow and simple, deferring to the main design of the field. Though ornamental, the field is also pictorial, depicting as it does a garden-like scene of paradise.
