This lovely rug opens on a lobed medallion floating in a meadow of small flowers. Small blossoms and leaves cover the stone field on graceful curling vines, worked in muted pink, green and powder blue. At the center, a notched medallion with a muted pink frame holds a green core and a rosette, with a pendant above and below it. Large scrolling spandrels in muted pink and powder blue fill the four corners, each built around a lobed cartouche. A handsome navy border carries clusters of muted pink blossoms and pale lobed palmettes that point toward the field. Powder blue guard stripes, strung with tiny flowers, run along both sides of it. The pile is low, and a few small stains show in the field. It holds a calm sitting area together, the navy frame giving the stone and muted pink center a clear edge. At 6'8" by 8'2", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.
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, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Kerman rugs
In the first half of the 20th century Kerman rugs were sold in the West under the name Kermanshah. Kerman in southeastern Persia worked in the softest palette of the major Persian centers: powder blue, ivory, rose and pale green, often on a pale ground. This rug shares that soft palette, with powder blue, muted pink and green set on a pale stone field. Its drawing is curvilinear throughout, from the scrolling corners to the lobed medallion at the center. Small blossoms spread across the whole field, so the medallion sits inside a dense garden of flowers, and the navy border closes the pale center with a deep blue frame.

Returns & exchangesMade 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.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
