Antique Kerman Oriental Rug, Country of Origin: Central Persia, Circa Date: late nineteenth century – A stunningly rich and detailed Herati pattern repeats with precise symmetry across the deep blue field of this elegant antique Kerman. The various floral elements are arranged in such a way that they suggest a sweeping repetition of intersecting circles as an underlying composition matrix, one that teases us amidst all the complexity. Undulating vine scroll borders set against grounds of varying color frame the entire composition, preserving the texture and coloration of the field while varying its design.
