A Beautiful Small Size Blue Color Fine Antique Persian Kerman Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa date: 1900 –

This piece is an excellent example of the work of Kerman from this important time in carpet history. It pictures a lady with a basket of flowers tending her sheep. It is in a style that resembles French and European tapestries of the time. You might notice that the woman’s clothing is more of a style worn by European peasantry rather than a traditional Persian style.

At the time this pictorial rug was created, Kerman had once again risen to prominence in the world of fine rug making. It was known for pieces with a high level of detail and exceptional artistic skill. This is a gorgeous piece and will make an excellent addition to your collection or classic room décor.
