Antique Kerman Oriental rug from Central Persia, late nineteenth century - A stunningly rich and detailed Herati pattern repeats with precise symmetry across the deep blue field of this elegant antique Kerman. The various floral elements are arranged in such a way that they suggest a sweeping repetition of intersecting circles as an underlying compositional matrix, one that teases us amidst all the complexity.
