APPROX. 75-100 YR OLD PERSIAN KERMAN HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 7'7'' x 11': This very nice old Kerman has the desirable overall cover to its field and contains some less common colors for a rug of its age. The pretty raspberry red field has a center medallion that starts with a pink center surrounded by an unusual green, edged by a raspberry red and ivory, and finally a deep blue, cranberry and ivory outer border. Around the medallion is a ribbon like vine that has various flowers and leaves circling the medallion and then spreading out to cover the rest of the field. From the ivory ground main border a broken border design with blue, red, and white shield like motifs goes through the green guard border into the main field.
CONDITION: The pile is pretty uniformly low and there are some visible stains in the ivory main border.
