About the Item
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.

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century
Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
