This lovely rug glows with a cream center of flowering trees and sky blue blossoms. Worked on a midnight field, small star flowers and rosettes ring a large scalloped cream center. Inside it, flowering trees hold clusters of deep red roses and big sky blue blossom heads. At the heart sits a handsome lobed medallion on deep red, with a midnight star and a small rosette at its core. Scrolling sky blue bands frame the cream center, and the midnight ground beyond them reaches into each corner with rows of star flowers. The deep red main border carries a graceful flowering vine, with a chain of round cartouches along its inner edge. The pile is low, and the design stays clear in every part. It settles into a room of dark wood, the deep red edge warming the cool midnight and sky blue. At 8'4" by 11'2", 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. The Wagner garden carpet of the Burrell Collection, made in Kerman under the Safavid dynasty, is the earliest garden carpet outside Asia. Kerman in southeastern Persia often worked on a pale ground, and its drawing is curvilinear. This rug keeps that curving line everywhere: in the scalloped edge of the cream center, the bending branches of its trees and the scrolls that frame them. Its colors run strong and close, with midnight, deep red and sky blue side by side in every part. Flowers fill nearly all of the cream. The medallion sits in the middle of it all, red within blue within cream.

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.
