Antique Persian Kerman rug, circa 1900 This grand, palatial Kerman is one of the best of its kind. A monumental indented medallion with large finials spreads star-like into the soft salmon-terracotta field, empty except for a few crowns and birds. Delicate blue-ground cornerpieces frame the medallion, enclosed in turn by a series of fine borders filled with tiny flowers. The great size of the carpet is nicely balanced by the minuscule detail of the decor and the openness of the composition.
