This lovely rug centers on a long navy medallion in a wide sweep of open red. Within a deep red field, most of the ground stays plain, edged all round by camel scrolls that step in at each corner. The medallion is a long pointed oval on navy, filled with light blue blossoms around a camel core of graceful curling leaves. A handsome shield-shaped pendant caps each end, with navy at its heart. Camel spandrels fill the corners, thick with light blue leaf scrolls. The main border runs navy, set with flower sprays and camel palmettes at intervals. Guard stripes of camel and light blue run on either side, one holding a linked vine, and a narrow burgundy edge closes the outside. The pile is low, and small pale flecks show across the red field. It holds a large room well, and the navy and light blue cool all that red. At 9'4" by 14'3", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
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
Nadir Shah took many of Kerman’s most skilled weavers north after 1739 and the city was pillaged in 1794, yet its rug industry continued to prosper. In the Persian rug trade the carpets of Kerman rank first, ahead of the rugs of Hamedan. Kerman lies in southeastern Persia. Its drawing is curvilinear and open, with more space left empty than a Kashan or a Tabriz would allow. This rug shares that openness: the red field is left bare around one medallion, and every outline curls, from the scrolled field edge to the pointed pendants. Light blue runs through the corners and the border, set against navy and camel. The medallion and its two pendants line up down the long center, and the navy border frames it all.

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.
