Signed Late 19th Century Antique Persian Kerman Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

61187 Late 19th Century Signed Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 11'02 x 16'09. Woven with the echoes of Persia’s grand artistic legacy, this magnificent Late 19th Century Persian Kerman rug pays homage to one of the most celebrated masterpieces in textile history—the Ardabil carpet of the Safavid dynasty. Intricately hand-knotted with extraordinary precision, this majestic composition unfolds like an illuminated manuscript, with an elaborate medallion radiating outward into an endless expanse of floral arabesques, palmettes, and delicate vinery. The refined artistry captures the essence of classical Persian elegance, a tribute to the weaver's profound skill and devotion to tradition. The deep midnight field serves as a dramatic canvas, framing a spectacular medallion that is a direct nod to the iconic Ardabil design. Scrolling tendrils weave harmoniously among exquisite boteh motifs and stylized blossoms, creating an almost celestial balance of form and function. Every inch of the composition pulsates with movement, as if the very fabric of the rug were imbued with the poetry of the past. Each petal, vine, and motif tells a story—one of imperial courts, the splendor of Persian artistry, and a timeless aesthetic sensibility that has captivated connoisseurs for centuries. This exceptional Kerman rug also bears the signature of its weaver, an esteemed artisan whose hand and vision are immortalized within its intricate borders. The presence of a signature is a testament to the maker’s pride and the remarkable craftsmanship invested in its creation—an element rarely seen, reserved for only the finest pieces of the era. The surrounding borders, composed of interlocking floral cartouches, palmettes, and arabesques, frame the central field with a regal sophistication, reinforcing the grandeur of this Persian treasure. A true collector’s piece, this antique Kerman rug is more than a floor covering; it is a bridge to history, a woven manuscript of Persian design philosophy, and a masterpiece destined to transcend generations. Its intricate detailing and noble lineage make it an extraordinary centerpiece for any refined interior, offering an unparalleled connection to the golden age of Persian carpet weaving. Whether displayed in a grand estate or a curated private collection, this Kerman rug is an enduring testament to the artistry, heritage, and elegance of Persian craftsmanship at its most sublime. This piece is signed by the workshop of a master weaver, with the signature elegantly displayed within the cartouche inscription nestled in the border.​ Abrash. Hand-knotted wool.
