Antique Kerman, Persia, late nineteenth centuryIn the tradition of the great classical Persian court carpets, a grand arabesque medallion hovers within a soft raspberry open field on this palatial antique Kerman. Lush floral details on a champagne ground fill the medallion and the cornerpieces of similar design that frame the field. A delicate vinescroll and palmette main border offers a contrast in scale and detail while preserving the coloration of the nearby cornerpieces, giving the entire design a unified decorative effect. The velvety Kerman wool pile further enhances the luxurious overall impression of this extraordinary carpet.
