Antique Persian Kerman Rug / Carpet # 1817

Unavailable
late 19th century - This outstanding Kerman preserves a classic design from the great era of Persian court carpets. The red ground central medallion and cornerpieces display the cloudband arabesque, with floral wreaths or sprays arranged symmetrically around blue rosettes in the ivory areas. The whole field pulsates with sinuous ogival rhythms as each adjacent medallion tapers and swells from one to another. But ultimately the classic control and restraint predominates in the relatively simple narrow borders that frame and complete the entire composition.
