A deep blue field with lobed edges opens up the middle of this lovely rug. At the center, a camel medallion with a pale blue core and small pendants sits on a denim field. Beyond the lobed edge, the outer field is pale blue, worked with a fine scatter of small blossoms. Four handsome round medallions in camel and peach pink fill the corners. The main border sets navy and pale blue flower sprays between camel bars on a peach pink ground. Narrow camel guard stripes edge it on both sides. Pile runs low in spots across the blue, and the foundation shows as pale specks. It holds a large room together in blue and camel, with the peach pink border warming the edges. At 9'6" by 13'7", 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
Marco Polo, by Walter Hawley’s account of 1913, wrote of the beautiful shawls and carpets made by the women of Kerman. Since the 16th century Kerman has been the origin of highly sophisticated carpets in well-organized designs. 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 keeps to the blue end of that palette, a denim field inside a pale blue outer ground with a fine scatter of small blossoms. Its camel medallion and the four camel and peach pink corner medallions sit well apart, and the center stays open. The peach pink border warms the edges, with navy and pale blue sprays set between camel bars.

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.
