Story Behind the Art: Kerman rugs hail from southeastern Iran, with weaving traditions dating back to the Safavid era (1501–1732). Known for their technical precision, delicate floral, architectural, and medallion motifs, these rugs feature elaborate borders and central medallions, including garden, vase, tree-of-life, hunting, and boteh patterns. Kerman rugs are celebrated for the finesse of their weave, intricate designs, and use of extensive color palettes—often employing 15–30 different shades in a single rug. Hand-knotted over months or years, they offer unparalleled depth, texture, and aesthetic complexity, making them prized heirlooms and functional art for collectors and interiors alike.
