Antique Persian Kerman Rug, Persia, Turn of the Century – This stunning antique carpet from Kerman features an elegant curvilinear arabesque woven in a classic combination of taupe, camel brown and Persian blue that weavers in the city use so masterfully. Ogival niches reflecting the outlines of the octofoil medallion break the boundary between the border and field. Floral borders set over an oxidized blue background complete the botanical theme and complement the field and central medallion without taking away from the subtly shaded petals and softly colored details that make up the grand overarching arabesque. Arching floral sprays and trailing vine scrolls outlined with contrasting colors exemplify Kerman’s elegant style and precise craftsmanship. This antique carpet represents a traditional style unique to Kerman that is equally suitable in modern spaces.
