This Persian Kerman rug, crafted circa 1935, is a traditional masterpiece featuring a rose background with a prominent blue border. The main color is a rich red, and it is expertly woven with wool on a cotton foundation, a characteristic technique in Kerman rug-making.
Kerman carpets have a longstanding history dating back to the early 17th century, and this rug is part of that esteemed tradition. Kerman, located in southeastern Iran, is renowned for its intricate floral and curvilinear designs, which are meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. The region's high-quality wool contributes to the durability and fine texture of its rugs.
The central medallion of this rug is especially noteworthy, exhibiting an elaborate design that combines floral and geometric motifs. The intricate patterns extend outward from the medallion, filling the rug with a harmonious blend of curvilinear and angular elements typical of traditional Oriental designs. The soft, faded pink background serves as an elegant canvas for the intricate pattern work, which is further accentuated by shades of blue, white, and hints of gold.
The rug’s borders are intricately detailed, with several layers of lines that feature dense, repetitive floral and geometric designs. This multilayered border not only frames the rug but also enhances its overall symmetry and coherence. The entire composition radiates balance and precision, anchored by the central medallion and extending in a symmetrical layout from side to side and top to bottom.
The craftsmanship of Kerman rugs peaked during the Safavid dynasty, particularly with the creation of 'vase carpets', and this rug continues that legacy. The artistry and technical quality reflect the weavers' resilience and adaptability through periods of civil strife, evolving styles to meet market demands while maintaining their cultural heritage.
This rug exemplifies the evolution of Kerman styles, with its intricate patterns and high knot count, serving as both a decorative piece and a cultural artifact. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of historical significance, technical mastery, and aesthetic beauty.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
