Story Behind the Art: Renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and intricate detail, Kerman rugs take their name from the historic city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, a renowned weaving hub since the Safavid dynasty (1501–1732). For centuries, artisans from this region have been celebrated for producing some of the finest Persian rugs, admired for their technical mastery, refined artistry, and sophisticated color harmony. Traditional Kerman rug designs often feature central medallions surrounded by floral or architectural motifs, beautifully framed within decorative borders. Popular patterns include the Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner layout, as well as garden, vase, tree of life, hunting, animal, and boteh (paisley) motifs. Among them, the vase and boteh designs stand out as signature Kerman styles—filled with elegant vases, flowing florals, and palmettes woven into rhythmic all-over compositions. Kerman rugs are celebrated for their fine weaving technique, delicate patterns, and extraordinary color diversity, often incorporating 15 to 30 hues in a single rug. Each piece can take over a year to complete, a testament to the patience and artistry of its weavers. The result is a rug that transcends utility—an heirloom-quality work of art representing the heritage, beauty, and enduring prestige of Persian craftsmanship.
