About the Item
Hand-knotted in high-quality wool and originating from Persia's Kerman area circa 1880-1890, this antique carpet is an incredibly rare survivor of a golden age in textile art. Celebrating an elegant and lush field design, this luminous piece hails from one of the most widely recognized cities of antique Persian carpet making, capturing the refined botanical grace that once graced the most palatial estates.
On the Design:
This magnificent antique Kerman rug stands as a testament to the grandeur and technical brilliance of one of Persia’s most historically important weaving regions. Originating from Kerman during its artistic zenith in the third quarter of the 19th century, this piece exemplifies the sophisticated floral tradition that defines the region’s irreplaceable old-world charm.
The design boasts a field dominated by a continuous, rhythmic all-over pattern of extravagant rose bouquets and delicate floral sprays—a garden in bloom that symbolizes eternal spring. These "Millefleurs" elements are rendered in a soft, sun-drenched palette of rose-red, cerulean blue, and muted gold against a luminous cream-beige background. The sophisticated density of the field is powerfully balanced by the ornate, multi-tiered border panels, which feature elaborate drawings of vine scrolls and botanical cartouches—elegant yet refreshing in their play of light colors.
Connoisseurs will appreciate the painterly precision of the weaving, which lends the flat surface a three-dimensional depth, almost as if the roses are reaching toward the light. The interplay of the richly drawn borders with the hypnotically detailed floral field creates a dialogue between structured ornament and natural flow, making this piece a true connoisseur's dream. Created circa 1880 during the height of the Qajar period, this work captures the same sophisticated multi-piece carpet traditions referenced in the most seminal textile scholarship, making it invaluable for understanding Persian interior design at its most luxurious peak.

This antique Persian Kerman rug enjoys good condition, and is a gorgeous collectible of vast design applications.
