43959 Antique Lavar Kerman, Persia, circa 1900 - An allover design of lace-like medallions in staggered array unfolds with elegant precision across the field of this sumptuous antique Lavar Kerman. Two main scalloped medallions sit along the vertical central axis with smaller ogival medallions to either side, and pointed quatrefoil medallions disposed horizontally across the center. A welter of vines and tiny flowers fills the reminder of the soft blue ground between the medallions. A running vinescroll border laden with palmettes and lotus flowers surrounds the field, with minor vinescroll borders added for framing distinction. The uniform soft, pastel color scheme applied across the entire composition makes for a supremely restrained decorative effect despite the complexity of the design.
