Antique Persian Kerman Rug, early twentieth century - This lovely antique Kerman has an allover design of delicately wrought azure blue garlands arranged as swags or volutes that unfolds across a soft saffron-tan ground. Small shrubs and flowers comprise the border, but against a rich blue ground that provides a strong, contrasting frame for the lace-like delicacy of the field. This piece is highly effective as a decorative carpet, not only because of its soft tonality, but also because of the transparent openness and finesse of the field.
