This lovely rug sets a large camel medallion at the heart of a forest green field. From across a room the field reads forest green, closely filled with gold palmettes, curling leaves and vines touched with red. The medallion’s outline is lobed and roughly round, with smaller gold flowers worked inside. A handsome palmette pendant sits above it and another below. The beautiful main border has a gold ground carrying scrolling vines, mustard flowers and small red blossoms. Narrow guard stripes in gold, dotted with small red rosettes, run along both sides of the border. The pile is low across the face, and pale flecks show in the medallion. It slips into a room of warm wood and brass, where the forest green and gold stay calm together. At 9'5" by 12'2", 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
Since the 16th century Kerman has been the origin of highly sophisticated carpets in well-organized designs. Kerman in southeastern Persia is known for the softest palette of the major Persian centers, often on a pale ground. This rug takes a deeper turn, with a forest green field closely filled with gold palmettes, curling leaves and vines touched with red. A large camel medallion holds the center, with a palmette pendant above and below. The wide gold border carries scrolling vines, mustard flowers and small red blossoms, so gold carries most of the design.

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.
