1920's Persian Kerman Carpet with Traditional Style
About the Item
76516 Antique Red Persian Kerman Rug, 11'04 x 16'10. A masterpiece of Persian artistry, this hand-knotted antique Kerman rug captures the essence of refined elegance and timeless beauty. Woven in the grand tradition of 19th-century Kerman workshops, this exquisite carpet reflects the region’s renowned skill in blending delicate motifs with sophisticated compositions. At its heart, a regal diamond lobed medallion unfurls across a sumptuous red field, enveloped by a cascade of floral sprays that dance with effortless grace. The meticulous interplay of scrolling vines and delicate blossoms evokes the ethereal charm of Persian gardens, where every petal and tendril whispers of artistry and tradition.
The border of this exceptional Kerman rug tells a deeper story, adorned with cartouches filled with blooming floral vases that gracefully break into the field. This hallmark of Kerman rug design is a poetic homage to Persian garden aesthetics, symbolizing abundance, renewal, and paradise. Drawing inspiration from Safavid and Qajar textile traditions, these elegant cartouches frame the composition with an air of majestic fluidity, softening the boundaries between the central field and its enclosure. The floral vases, overflowing with meticulously rendered blossoms, convey themes of prosperity, spiritual enlightenment, and harmony—echoing the enduring influence of Persian miniatures and architectural motifs.
The luminous ivory border, resplendent with scrolling Eslimi vines and curling tendrils, provides a mesmerizing contrast to the deep crimson field, further enhancing the Kerman rug’s visual depth. Intricate tracery of delicate palmettes, curling serrated leaves, and meandering tendrils infuses the composition with a lyrical rhythm, as if capturing nature’s perpetual bloom. This dynamic yet balanced interplay of form and color elevates the rug beyond mere decoration, transforming it into a woven tableau of Persian poetry and artistic grandeur.
Steeped in history and unparalleled craftsmanship, this antique Persian Kerman rug embodies the refined elegance for which Kerman weavers are celebrated. Its masterful composition, enriched by the rare cartouche-filled border, makes it an exceptional piece—one that bridges the past and present with its evocative beauty. Whether gracing a grand interior or serving as a collector’s treasure, this extraordinary woven wonder continues to enchant, preserving the enduring legacy of Persian textile artistry.
Rendered in variegated shades of ruby red, beige, baby blue, pink, celadon, taupe, raspberry red, sky blue, and rose with other accent colors.

79162 Antique Red Persian Kerman Rug, 11'07 x 18'02. Woven with reverence beneath the golden sun of early 20th-century Persia, this hand knotted wool antique Kerman rug evokes a timeless romance between art and heritage. Each knot is a verse in a poem of elegance, forming a visual symphony across its expansive ruby-red field. A regal central medallion unfurls like a blooming rose at the heart of a secret garden, surrounded by ethereal palmettes and blossoming sprays that drift in graceful rhythm, as though caught in an eternal spring breeze.
The field, saturated with a rich crimson hue, is alive with a chorus of scrolling vinery and curvilinear motifs that echo classical Safavid elegance. Subtle shifts in dye—abrash—infuse the composition with soul, revealing the hand of the weaver and the breath of the loom. Intricate leaves and floral elements glisten in sky blue, saffron gold, and soft jade, their shimmering outlines dancing against the saturated backdrop like illuminated manuscript ink upon ancient parchment.
A luminous border frames this woven manuscript, enriched with floral cartouches and undulating vines that form a protective garland around the heart of the rug. Here, the masterful interplay of color and composition transcends function, turning the frame into a celestial threshold—guarding the sacred bloom of memory and imagination within. The juxtaposition of soft beige, cerulean, and sage, in the border enhances the central field’s passion with a serene, earthly harmony.
Hand-knotted with fine wool and remarkable precision, this Persian Kerman rug whispers the legacy of the early Pahlavi era—an age when craftsmanship flourished amidst the twilight of empire and dawn of modernity. Though time has touched it, this resplendent textile remains a living heirloom, a storied relic from the looms of Kirman, offering both sanctuary and splendor beneath one’s feet.
