10'5 x 13'10 Hand-Knotted Persian Kerman Room-Sized Rug

Item Details

This hand-knotted Persian Kerman area rug features a vibrant red field surrounding a complex, multi-layered floral medallion. Typical of Kerman production from the mid-20th century, the design emphasizes curvilinear elegance with detached floral sprays and botanical tendrils in a palette of ivory, navy, and soft rose. The border system is intricate, featuring a primary band of repeating floral palmettes set against a contrasting ground. This piece is distinguished by its refined weave and the use of the ‘vase technique’ structure, identifying it as a product of the sophisticated workshops in south-central Iran. Its open-field composition and classic floral motifs make it a versatile example of Persian textile art.
