Large Hand-Knotted Persian Kerman Area Rug
Item Details
A large Persian Kerman area rug. This supple, ornate wool rug is hand-knotted in an abrashed palette of azure, dark sapphire, crimson, and camel. It features an atypical Kerman design beginning with a central star medallion filled with crisp, abundant renditions of wildflowers. The medallion rests on a crimson field, amid broken borders, bubbles of floral vignettes grounded in azure, and bouquets of flowers and lancet leaves. Framing the field are three broken borders, including a wide primary border grounded in dark sapphire and filled with an array of flowers. Selvedges are overcast, the rug finishing at each end with short kilim skirts and ivory cotton warp fringe. It is unlabeled.
