Antique Fine Floral Design Persian Kerman Rug, Persia, Circa 1900 – Exemplifying the panache, elegance and opulence of Persian designs, this fantastic antique rug from Kerman features a grand arabesque superimposed over a tiled latticework pattern. Intersecting vine scrolls, lush Shah Abbasi palmettes and radiant rosettes filled with poly chromatic details, outlines and intricate patterns are set over alternating background colors. Feathery saz leaves and plaited leaflets separate the contrasting tiles, which feature alternating background colors, including garnet red, onyx, citrine and sapphire blue. Hairline details, filamentous outlines and delicate branches enhance the detail-rich arabesques that cross the field. Narrow guard bands and elegant cerise borders decorated with arching vine scrolls, grand rosettes and branching floral sprays continue the alluring triad of saturated gem tones, which includes golden citrine yellow, strong garnet red and saturated sapphire blues.
