Magnificent Large Size Square Antique Persian Kerman Rug, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1880 – One of the most subtly beautiful elements are the soft 8 pointed stars that encase the central row of the large scale emblems. Upon close examination, the designs featured in this square antique Persian Kerman rug are not only pretty much symmetrical, but are also spaced out very evenly. This creates a beautiful contrast between geometric style evenness and the delicate organic forms of the floral and filigree designs.

 

Some of the bands have simple designs within them, and some of the bands have designs that are more complicated. The large size coupled with its square rug size proportions make this square antique Persian Kerman rug quite rare.
