Simply Gorgeous Vintage Kerman Rug
About the Item
Measures: 8.3” x 11.3”
Down in the southeast of Iran, close to an oasis in the desert Dasht-e-Lut lies the city of Kerman with a population of approximately 350 000 inhabitants. The distance to Teheran is more than 1000 kilometers and the city was founded in the 4th century and had great importance for the people who were travelling far along the trading routes between Iran and India. During the centuries different masters have ruled the city, for example Arabs, Seljuks and Mongolians. The city of Kerman today has a pleasant atmosphere with mosques, blocks with bazaars and tea houses. The carpet manufacturing has long been an important industry and carpets from Kerman are easily recognized. The ground color is often red, and the pattern is dominated by a centrally placed medallion together with a wide border filled with flowers. The carpets that were manufactured before World War I usually have different motifs, such as trees, animals and figural motifs. The material as well as the design is usually of good quality.
The carpets were considered to be the best among the Iranian carpets, but the newer productions are unfortunately of low quality sometimes. Modern carpets with the name Kerman-Lavar often come with all-over floral motifs in clear colours. The carpets are also sold under the name Kirman.

- Simply Beautiful Antique Farahan RugLocated in Norwalk, CTMeasures: 8.4” x 11.2” Farahan rugs are a very aesthetically pleasing group. They drew upon a sophisticated design repertoire without the formality of a city workshop carpet. Technically there are a well-made carpet and as a rule the dyes were very good. Farahan rugs often used a very attractive copper green called celadon after the Chinese pottery. It would turn brittle over time and wear away leaving a sculpted look. Up until World War II these carpets represented the best of the Sarouk production. They were attributed to the village of Farahan but were likely made in a number of villages. As with all the Arak Rug types the names are more of a grade than an exact place attribution. Prior to the introduction of the American Sarouk these carpets represented the best of the Sarouk production. They were attributed to the village of Feraghan but were likely made in a number of villages. Once the American Sarouk took off these began to disappear. These pieces are highly desirable in today's market. These pieces are very similar to the Mohtashem Kashan rugs in handle and structure. An attribution clue is that that Mohtashem Kashan carpets...Category
