About this rug

A gold hill full of running animals is the heart of this charming rug. Worked on a beige field, a band of tall trees stands at either end, graceful teal cypresses set between red-trunked trees dotted with red rosettes. In place of a medallion, a gold hill with a thin blue outline fills the center, its flat side against a red bar. Deer and other small animals in red and blue crowd its slopes, and small birds fly among the trees. The handsome red main border carries a blue lattice of linked compartments, each holding a small rosette. A beige guard stripe with small red flowers runs outside it, and a teal guard stripe runs inside. The pile is low across the face, and the gold hill shows a few darker patches. It settles a room in beige and teal, with the red border as a warm frame. At 7'2" by 11'6", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.

Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, approximately 60 to 100 years old. Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.

About Kerman rugs

Marco Polo, by Walter Hawley’s account of 1913, wrote of the beautiful shawls and carpets made by the women of Kerman. Kerman in southeastern Persia worked in the softest palette of the major Persian centers, often on a pale ground. The drawing leaves more space empty than a Kashan or a Tabriz would allow. This rug shares that pale ground in its beige field, and open space runs between its trees, birds and animals. Its plan is a landscape, with a band of trees at each end and a gold hill of animals between them. The teal of the cypresses and the red of the border keep it lively against the beige.

The Craft

Made entirely by hand.

Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
