Four lush vinescroll cornerpieces frame the lobed, quatrefoil field on this luxuriant antique Kerman. The field itself has an unusual design of tablet-like cartouches alternating in pairs with candelabra-like motifs, all amidst curling vines and tiny flowers. The dark navy ground across much of the carpet is little more than an emphatic outline for the softer, pastel tones. The various palmette vinescroll borders combine with the cornerpieces to frame the field, but maintaining a uniform palette and design texture to makes this a premier decorative carpet.

With more complex design than typical for the period, this Moroccan rug integrates the classic rhombi and neutral colors influenced by Central Asian culture. The inside of each rhombus features a jagged, angular design. Arrows expand, giving the rhombi movement in an otherwise still piece. The designs are Islamic in nature, and resemble the illustrations that encircle the Nubian Quran; four-pronged complex designs that manifest the pillars of Islam. This piece is not only pleasing to the eye, but reflects the complex history of the Moroccan people and their widely diverse culture. To add more complexity, the top rhombi feature arrows that seem to be pointing to the center of each shape, indicating that they are in fact shrinking. This is surely one of the most stunning rugs we have ever come across. Style: Region Specific Origin: Morocco Size: 6. ft x 11 ft (1.83 m x 3.35 m)   « Less
