On the Design:

This antique piece is a visual epic, a dense, complex tapestry that embodies the height of Kerman's renowned workshop artistry.

Admirers of the craft will admire the sheer intricacy required to render such fine detail across this expansive, near-palace size—a rarity even within this coveted provenance.

The field is a breathless mosaic, presenting a highly symmetrical array of intricate floral vinery, cartouches, and stylized palmettes, all woven with a visual density that demands attention.

The original palette, now softened by a century of time, is a dramatic symphony of saturated tones, favoring deep berry reds, regal violets, and midnight indigo, beautifully punctuated by unexpected flashes of ice blue, sage green, and soft blush-pink.

The density of the pattern, framed by a border of structured cartouches, creates a mesmerizing sense of movement and depth.

This Kerman is not merely a floor covering; it is a profound artistic statement, fusing history, opulence, and regal color into a collectible work of art.
