Persian Carpet Detail

A cream medallion spreads across a brick-red and indigo field in this Persian-style carpet design. Floral branches and serrated leaves fill the spaces around it, surrounded by narrower patterned bands and a broad pale border. The view includes both the center and two edges, so the change from large motifs to small repeats is easy to see.

Faded-looking patches soften some of the outlines without erasing the symmetry. Indigo links the cream flowers across the central field, then reappears in the smaller border patterns. The image suggests a textured, worn surface. It does not establish the carpet's age, material or place of manufacture.
