Antique Indian, early twentieth century Sprays of vines unfold in allover symmetry in shades of tan and gold across a soft blue ground on this lush antique Indian carpet. The design is so closely worked that the blue ground barely shows through amidst the vines, but it does so just enough to produce a grid effect across the surface. The vines themselves are richly embellished with the forms of various animals in the manner of classical Persian and Indian carpets - deer, gazelles, etc. and the figures of lions and leopards that pounce upon them. The border has a classic cloudband design enriched with flowers and vines.
