Kerman Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This exquisitely styled antique Persian Kerman rug features a richly detailed Mahi or Herati pattern surrounded by flamboyant botanical borders. Tonal Herati leaves, grand palmettes and tiny leaflets cover the field alongside an intertwined network of carefully outlined vine scrolls that travels behind the kaleidoscopic foreground motifs. Lavish chestnut-colored main borders contain graceful millefleur ornaments separated by formal flower-laden shrubs. Double guard bands embellished with spiraling botanical create a cohesive theme that mimics the delicate floral emblems featured within the expertly patterned main borders. This superb antique Kerman rug showcases a superlative rendering of the beloved Herati pattern that is depicted with even more detail and panache.
