Antique Persian Kerman Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – This sophisticated antique Persian rug from Kerman features a superb allover Mina Khani pattern that is set over a warm papyrus-colored field. The transitional allover pattern depicts elegant poly chromatic rosettes, sweeping Saz leaves with luminescent shading and graceful vine scrolls that carefully connect the isolated botanical motifs. Each figure incorporates a triad of rich, saturated colors and filamentous outlines that accentuate the elegant curves. The grand borders incorporate an artful series of interwoven vine scrolls that are separated by subdued minor borders. Subtle pastel colors, graceful flourishes and impeccably detailed botanical motifs embody the sophisticated, well-developed curvilinear style of Kerman’s luxurious designs.
