Antique Persian Rugs — Antique Persian Kerman Rug, Persia, late nineteenth century rugs – While the format and weave of this lovely antique Kerman lion rug stem from the world of Oriental carpet design, the coloration and naturalistic detail of the floral elements are decidedly western, a striking response to the repertory of Savonnerie and Axminster carpets. Only the heraldic cartouche of the Qajar dynasty at the top with its confronting sword-wielding lions re-affirms the Persian origin of the piece.
