Semi-Antique Persian Kerman Rug

9'11" x 16'8" | 303 cm x 508 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1920s–1930s Persian Kerman rug represents the pinnacle of Persian weaving artistry at its most accomplished scale, where master craftsmen created compositions of remarkable sophistication and technical mastery. Hand-knotted wool displays a delicate central medallion set against a densely patterned ground that exemplifies the finely woven floral tradition for which Kerman rugs earned international acclaim. The pastel palette, softened by nearly a century of graceful aging, creates an ethereal quality that balances elegance with serenity.

COLORS & DETAILS

Soft rose dominates the palette with romantic warmth that creates a luminous foundation for the intricate floral patterns. Muted sky blue adds gentle coolness that balances the warmer tones, while ivory brightens key motifs throughout the composition with delicate luminosity. Faded teal appears in supporting elements, bringing depth and sophistication, and gentle brick red accents provide subtle warmth that prevents the pastel palette from becoming too ethereal.

PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE

Our commitment to authentic representation guides every image we create. Studio lighting captures the rug's true essence, while showroom photographs in natural sunlight may display warmer undertones. Each piece appears exactly as it exists, without digital manipulation or enhancement.

CONDITION

This semi-antique piece has been professionally cleaned to preserve its distinctive character while ensuring its beauty for years to come. We recommend allowing your rug some air and sunlight for a few hours after delivery, as the organic wool benefits from breathing in its new environment before settling into place.

Heritage and Craftsmanship

Kerman established itself as the premier center for Persian weaving's most sophisticated productions during the early 20th century, where master artisans working with the finest materials created rugs of unprecedented technical and artistic achievement. The tradition of combining central medallion designs with densely patterned floral fields required exceptional planning and skill to execute successfully at monumental scales.

Design Elements

The delicate central medallion creates elegant focal presence while the densely patterned ground demonstrates exceptional technical mastery through its intricate floral compositions. Richly layered borders provide architectural framing that showcases the sophisticated drawing and proportional harmony throughout. The ethereal quality achieved through decades of natural aging allows these complex elements to merge into unified compositions where individual details serve the greater artistic vision.

Placement

The monumental 9'11" x 16'8" dimensions make this rug ideal for grand living spaces, formal dining rooms, or large bedrooms where its commanding presence can define entire areas while showcasing the exceptional artistry. The soft rose and sky blue palette with ivory and teal accents creates sophisticated foundation perfect for both traditional and refined modern interiors seeking authentic cultural elegance.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the rug's beauty:

  • Rotate periodically for even wear

  • Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting

  • Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing

  • Professional cleaning recommended annually

  • Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity

This rug represents the golden age of Persian weaving when Kerman artisans achieved the perfect synthesis of technical mastery and artistic vision.
