Tan 5'10''x8'10'' Indo Kerman Traditional Medallion Plush Pile Silky Sheen Velvety Soft Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

This approximately 6×9 Indo Kerman hand-knotted wool rug reflects the refined elegance of classical Persian-inspired weaving, brought to life through a plush 0.75-inch pile that offers a velvety, cushioned feel with a subtle silky sheen. Constructed on a strong cotton foundation, the rug balances softness with durability, making it well suited for both formal and everyday living spaces. The field is composed in warm beige and tan tones, creating a neutral yet luminous base that allows the ornamental design to unfold gracefully. At the center sits a carefully layered medallion rendered in blush and soft pink hues, lending a romantic and traditional focal point. Surrounding floral elements are articulated in taupe and sage, with gentle gray accents adding depth and definition without overpowering the palette. A richly patterned border encloses the field, repeating complementary floral motifs that reinforce symmetry and harmony typical of Indo Kerman rugs. Light interacts beautifully with the dense wool pile, enhancing texture and color variation, making this rug an ideal choice for bedrooms, living rooms, or refined interiors seeking timeless warmth and understated luxury.

Story Behind the Art: Renowned for their exceptional technical precision and decorative sophistication, Kerman rugs originate from the historic city of Kerman in southeastern Iran. This region has been a celebrated center of workshop weaving since the Safavid era (1501–1732), producing some of the most refined Persian rugs ever created. Kerman rugs are best known for their elegant floral and architectural compositions, often featuring a richly detailed central medallion framed by an ornate main border. Design variations include Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner layouts, garden scenes, vase and boteh patterns, tree-of-life imagery, hunting motifs, animal themes, as well as allover floral and striped arrangements. Among these, the vase or boteh design stands as the most iconic, characterized by repeating vases or boteh motifs scattered across a field filled with floral scrolls and palmettes. Kerman rugs are admired for their finely executed weave, graceful drawing, and extraordinary range of colors—typically using 15 to 30 distinct shades in a single rug. Due to their complexity and craftsmanship, a traditional Kerman rug often requires more than a year to complete, reinforcing its status as an heirloom-quality oriental area rug.
