Fine Light Blue Color Room Size Antique Persian Kerman Paisley Design Rug 43554

Light Blue Color Fine Weave Antique Persian Kerman Room Size Area Rug, Persia, early twentieth century – Inspired by the designs of Kashmir and Persian embroidered shawls, this exquisite antique Kerman has a grand central medallion surrounded by floral sprays and large boteh or paisley motifs as corner pieces, all in shades of tan set against a Lapis Lazuli ground. The border resumes the tan coloration, but with all details rendered as fine outlines rather than through contrasts of color as in the field. As a result the carpet offers a rare combination of bold graphic opposition as well as linear delicacy and subtlety.
