About the Item

This exquisite antique Yazd-Kerman Persian rug, dating to approximately 1920, is a remarkable example of fine Persian craftsmanship. Measuring an impressive 10 feet 6 inches by 16 feet 6 inches, this rug presents a grand and intricate composition filled with floral elegance and rich detailing. The design features an allover pattern of interconnected floral motifs, a signature characteristic of early 20th-century Yazd-Kerman rugs. Rather than a central medallion, the rug showcases a repeating pattern of floral rosettes and palmettes, each surrounded by swirling vines and foliage. The symmetry and fluidity of the pattern create a harmonious and balanced aesthetic, making this rug a true work of art. The repeating hexagonal floral arrangements, meticulously outlined in warm, deep hues, contribute to its refined and sophisticated appearance. The color palette is particularly striking, dominated by a deep indigo-blue field that serves as a dramatic backdrop for the intricate floral motifs. Rich shades of crimson, gold, and ivory are woven throughout, providing a bold contrast and enhancing the depth of the design. Soft hints of sage green and blush pink add further dimension, ensuring that the rug remains visually engaging from every angle. The combination of these colors, expertly blended, is a hallmark of Yazd-Kerman rugs, known for their sophisticated and elegant tones. The border is equally impressive, featuring multiple layers of intricate detailing. A wide primary border, adorned with scrolling vines and floral rosettes, is framed by smaller guard borders filled with geometric and floral elements. These layers create a structured frame that perfectly encapsulates the central field, adding depth and balance to the overall design. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, this rug has retained its soft texture and durability despite its age. The wool has developed a beautiful patina over time, a testament to its fine craftsmanship and the natural dyes used in its creation. The pile remains even and well-preserved, with only minimal wear consistent with its age, further adding to its antique character. Yazd-Kerman rugs from the early 20th century are highly prized for their elegant compositions, high knot density, and exceptional use of color. This rug embodies those qualities, making it not only a stunning decorative piece but also a valuable collector’s item. Its generous dimensions make it ideal for a formal living space, dining room, or library, where its rich hues and intricate patterns can be fully appreciated. A true statement piece, this antique Persian rug offers both timeless beauty and enduring value, bringing warmth, sophistication, and a sense of history to any setting.
