About the Item

79104 Antique Persian Kerman Rug Runner, 04'03 x 19'10. Steeped in history and woven with meticulous artistry, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Kerman rug runner epitomizes the refined elegance of Persian textile traditions. Graceful in its elongated form, this exquisite piece showcases a harmonious blend of intricate geometry and floral flourishes that lends a dreamlike patina to its hues. The delicate latticework unfolds across the field, forming a diamond trellis adorned with finely detailed blossoms, evoking the lush gardens of Kerman’s storied past. Every motif is imbued with meaning, echoing centuries of Persian design where floral patterns symbolize renewal, abundance, and the eternal beauty of nature. The prayer-like niche at either end of the field hints at a spiritual undertone, further emphasizing the reverence with which this runner was woven. The gently abrashed beige field is punctuated by hues of soft red, tranquil blue, and warm brown, lending a sense of quiet sophistication to the composition. The natural dyes have mellowed over time, revealing a poetic interplay of warm and cool tones that enhance the overall depth and character of the Kerman carpet runner. Subtle shifts in color and intricate detailing reflect the mastery of the artisans who hand-knotted each motif with precision and care. Framing this visual symphony is an exquisitely detailed border, adorned with a meandering floral pattern interwoven with angular cartouches and stylized botanical motifs. The soft pastel tones of the border create a gentle contrast against the field, adding layers of refinement and structural balance. An interplay of delicate vinery, geometric diamonds, and delicate floral sprays flanked by inner and outer guard bands evokes the sophistication and grandeur of Persian courtly aesthetics. The aged beauty of this Kerman runner speaks to its enduring legacy, making it a cherished piece for connoisseurs and collectors alike. Whether placed in a grand hallway, an intimate reading nook, or a space where history and artistry converge, this antique Kerman rug runner effortlessly enhances its surroundings. A timeless testament to Persian weaving excellence, it carries with it the whispers of the past—tales of master artisans, regal interiors, and the time-honored traditions that have defined Kerman’s illustrious rug-making heritage. This is not just a floor covering, but an heirloom imbued with cultural richness and timeless grace. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measure: 04'03 x 19'10. Pile Height: 0.12 of an inch.

1900's Antique Persian Lavar Kerman Carpet with Modern Style
Located in Dallas, TX
78354 Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 11'02 x 16'07. Woven in the poetic silence of early 20th century Persia, this hand knotted wool antique Lavar Kerman rug is a masterful ode to elegance and craftsmanship. Its velvety navy field, like a starlit garden under a midnight sky, blooms with a cascade of florals, scrolling vines, and radiant rosettes—each petal and palmette tenderly hand-knotted to form a visual symphony of order and beauty. In this formal garden of wool, celestial medallions float like full moons across the field, each ringed with palmette crowns and latticed in delicate filigree, reflecting both cosmic rhythm and earthly grace. The heart of the rug pulses with the lyricism of Persian romanticism—delicate tendrils curve like verses in calligraphy, winding gracefully among sprigs of Shah Abbasi blossoms, peonies, and scrolling islimi. Every flourish seems guided by a painter’s hand, and indeed, Lavar Kerman weavers were known not merely as artisans, but as artists of the loom. Their deft use of color—soft rose, emerald green, sapphire, and golden saffron—creates a harmonic interplay that enchants the eye and soothes the soul, much like a verse from Hafez spoken at dusk. Surrounding this rhapsodic field is a wide border, its backdrop the tender blush of aged parchment, upon which an arcaded vine-and-palmette design unfolds like illuminated manuscript margins. Vines dance upward in rhythmic scrolls, each curve entwined with floral clusters that evoke Persian gardens, both cultivated and imagined. Guard borders of meandering blossoms and protective motifs enclose the entire composition, as if to preserve the timeless beauty it holds within. This antique Persian rug is not merely a floor covering—it is a historical tapestry, echoing the splendor of Qajar-era refinement and the refined flourish of Lavar Kerman’s most illustrious workshops. Its stately presence, exceptional design, and painterly palette mark it as a work of grace and nobility. To own such a piece is to cradle a chapter of Persian artistry, lovingly passed down through generations, its woven poetry still whispering softly through the fibers of time. Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, burgundy, raspberry pink, tan, pink, sky blue, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Discoloration. Some Spots. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran. Hotel Lobby Size Carpet 11 x...
