Antique Persian Rugs — A Beautiful Small Size Fine Ivory Background Antique Persian Kerman Rug, circa 1900 – A lavishly classical Persian design of curling “sickle palmettes,” large volutes, and fine flowering vines in soft red, terracotta, and pale grayish blue, unfolds itself graciously across the rich ivory ground of this superb antique Persian Kerman rug . The two minor vine-scroll borders are narrow, finely detailed, and small-scale, in contrast to the grand scale and presence of the field, which picks up again in the lovely vine scroll and palmette main border. The deeper tan ground of the central border harmonizes with the field of this while the blue ground borders that flank it provide the solid framing effect for the main design.
