The expansive field is beautifully framed by a wide, richly detailed floral border featuring graceful bouquets rendered in brilliant red, soft pink, sky blue, and fresh green. The refined floral drawing, delicate shading, and balanced color harmony exemplify the sophisticated design tradition for which Kerman rugs are celebrated worldwide. Kerman, located in the desert heartland of Southeast Persia, has been the center of one of the world's great carpet weaving traditions for centuries — a tradition characterized above all by the extraordinary refinement of its floral design and the exceptional quality of its wool. This carpet retains a full, luxurious pile and is in wonderful condition, a rare find at this scale and in this distinctive colorway.
