Antique Persian Kerman Rug

An antique Persian Kerman rug. This SE Persian city ruglet displays a medium blue ground occupied by a lobed and double pendant floral medallion set within ivory corners which break into the main border. The border penetration scheme seems to originate in Kerman in the 1930’s or even earlier and is the result of contact with French rug designs. In any case, this is a sophisticated, urbane small rug with big ideas.
