Antique Persian Kerman Carpet
Located in Dallas, TX
78750 Oversized Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 11'08 x 19'05. Oversized Persian Kerman rugs refer to large-scale rugs originating from the city of Kerman in Iran. These rugs are characterized by their generous dimensions, typically exceeding standard rug sizes. They often feature intricate designs, vibrant colors, and impeccable craftsmanship, reflecting the rich tradition of Persian carpet weaving. Oversized Persian Kerman rugs are prized for their ability to make a bold statement in interior spaces, adding elegance and sophistication to any room.
In this oversized hand-knotted wool antique Persian Kerman rug, a fusion of timeless elegance and stately decadence unfolds. At its heart lies a cusped center medallion, its intricate design commanding attention amidst the grandeur. Surrounding it, an opulent array of jewel-tone floral sprays adorns the elegant ivory backdrop, each motif a testament to the rug's exquisite craftsmanship. Delicate boteh motifs, reminiscent of paisley, grace the corner spandrels, seamlessly merging with the overall tapestry of intricate patterns.
Embracing every inch of the rug's expansive canvas, the allover floral pattern exudes a sense of rhythm and grace, as if each bloom dances in harmony with the next. Against the backdrop of ivory, the jewel tones of ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue florals shimmer with vibrancy, adding depth and richness to the composition. The meticulous hand-knotting technique employed in crafting this masterpiece ensures that every detail is rendered with precision and finesse, elevating the rug to a work of art.
Completing the ensemble, the rug is framed by a highly decorative Kerman border, its ornate motifs creating a lush enclosure that accentuates the grandeur of the central composition. With its captivating design and impeccable craftsmanship, this oversized Persian Kerman rug transcends mere flooring decor, becoming a statement piece that exudes sophistication and timeless allure in any space it graces.

Antique and Vintage Persian Rugs for Sale on 1stDibs: Persian Tribal Rugs, Handmade Silk Persian Rugs and More
Make a bold statement in a living room or bedroom by incorporating vintage Persian rugs in your home decor.
A Persian carpet lends an aura of prestige to any room, even today. The fascination with Persian rugs dates at least as far back as the 4th century B.C., when historian Xenophon referred to the “soft rugs on which the Persians sit.” For centuries, Iran (modern-day Persia) has been known for the craftsmanship, intricate patterns and artistry of its carpets, which have found their way into households and museums around the world.
Although they have many imitators, real Persian rugs are made only in Iran and are easily recognized by their vibrant colors and elegant patterns.
Traditional, or antique, Persian rugs are what most people identify as “authentic.” Hand-made, they are very durable and, if properly cared for, can be passed down from generation to generation. Modern Persians, on the other hand, are often machine-made. Today’s carpets, Iranian or otherwise, can’t possibly match the level of craftsmanship that prevailed centuries ago, so historical Persian carpets will always be admired and highly valued.
Although the machine-aided production process is much faster and cheaper, the resulting rugs typically do not have the same quality or lifespan as handwoven ones, so traditional options are considered better investments.
To distinguish between the two, look for imperfections. Because traditional Persian rugs are handwoven, you will likely see small flaws on the front and back. With a machine-made imitation, on the other hand, you will probably not find stitching glitches, and the back will have a mesh or plastic covering.
Antique rugs are handmade from the finest materials, including wool, silk or cotton — never synthetic fibers. The fibers used in antique rugs are colored using natural dyes derived from insects and plants and woven into bold designs that reflect Iran’s culture and history. Since Persian tribes traditionally raised and herded sheep, wool was the most common material. The fiber has many advantages: It is fire-resistant and dries much more quickly than cotton. Also, because of its natural elasticity, it is more durable than cotton or silk. Regarded as works of art, Persian rugs can take months or years to complete.
The different types of Persian rugs are named for the cities, villages and regions where they’re made. Kashan rugs, for example, woven in the north-central Iranian city of Kashan, are considered among the finest city rugs, distinguished by curvilinear motifs like palmettos, leaves and arabesques. Nains have high knot counts, an indication of high quality, and generally employ pink, blue and ivory hues, while Tabriz rugs — created by weavers in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabrīz (or Tabriz) — mostly have floral and garden patterns.
When shopping for vintage Persian rugs, you'll want to consider color, size and more — for a history of these rugs and tips on how to style yours, visit our guide to these woven creations today.
Find Tabriz rugs, handmade silk Persian rugs, Persian tribal rugs and other antique and vintage rugs from the world's best furniture dealers on 1stDibs.
