SIgned Hand-Knotted Wool Persian Kerman Area Rug
Item Details
A signed hand-knotted, wool Persian Kerman area rug. This finely made wool rug is rendered in a palette of cherry red, navy blue, cerulean, and camel. It features a floral vase design that begins with a starburst medallion in navy and cerulean over the red field. Populating the field are lancet leaves and numerous garlands of tiny flowers. Spandrels contain petals, blossoms, and vase forms. This rug mainly forgoes the broken borders that characterize many Kermans, in favor of more widely traditional compound, resolved floral borders, including a major border in navy with a densely patterned meandering floral design. The rug features a small cartouche inscribed in Farsi across two guard strips. Selvedges are overcast, the rug finishing at either end with short blue and lavender kilim skirts and knotted ivory cotton warp fringe. It is tagged in Farsi on the reverse.
