Antique Allover Floral Kerman Wool Hand Knotted Pile Blue 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This extraordinary pictorial carpet presents a mesmerizing narrative woven in fine wool, characterized by its deep, saturated ground. The field utilizes a rich, near-black indigo, establishing a dramatic contrast that highlights the detailed figures and foliage, typical of high-quality pieces featuring the blue color. The composition employs a complex, highly detailed allover design that eschews a central medallion in favor of a continuous, sprawling jungle scene. This dense environment is populated by mounted hunters, exotic animals, and mythological figures, all intricately rendered with remarkable precision. The narrative flow across the field suggests a royal hunt or a scene drawn from classical Persian literature.
