Story Behind the Art: Celebrated for their refined craftsmanship and timeless beauty, Kerman rugs originate from the historic city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, a legendary center of rug weaving since the Safavid dynasty (1501–1732). Esteemed for their fine knotting, elegant composition, and luxurious materials, these Persian masterpieces often feature central medallions framed by floral, architectural, or arabesque borders, reflecting centuries of artistic excellence. Traditional Kerman designs encompass an array of celebrated motifs—from Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner compositions and vase or garden scenes to tree of life, hunting patterns, and all-over floral or boteh arrangements. Among the most iconic are the vase and boteh rugs, where intricate paisley forms and flowering vases are woven into richly ornamented fields of color and texture. Distinguished by their soft wool, harmonious color palettes, and exquisite detailing, many Kerman rugs incorporate 15 to 30 distinct hues, showcasing remarkable artistry and precision. Each piece often requires over a year of meticulous hand-knotting, a true testament to the patience, skill, and heritage that continue to define the Persian Kerman weaving tradition.
