About the Item

The 1950s Persian Kerman carpet, particularly in the Sheikh Safi design, is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship that beautifully blends artistry and history. This specific design is renowned for its intricate patterns and rich symbolism, drawing inspiration from the legendary Sheikh Safi al-Din, a 13th-century Sufi mystic. In the vibrant color palette of navy and ivory blue, the carpet showcases deep, rich hues that evoke a sense of depth and tranquility. The navy background serves as a dramatic canvas, highlighting the delicate motifs in ivory, which often include floral elements, arabesques, and geometric shapes. This contrast creates a striking visual appeal, making the carpet a centerpiece in any room. The craftsmanship is meticulous, with each knot tied by hand, resulting in a dense pile that feels luxurious underfoot. The Kerman region is known for its quality materials, and these carpets often feature fine wool or silk, adding to their durability and sheen. Overall, a 1950s Persian Kerman carpet in the Sheikh Safi design is not just a functional piece but a work of art, embodying the cultural heritage of Persia while offering timeless elegance and beauty. It serves as a perfect reflection of the era's aesthetic sensibilities, blending traditional motifs with the emerging tastes of the mid-20th century. Semi-antique Kerman carpets from Persia are revered for their exquisite craftsmanship and rich history. Typically dated between 50 to 100 years old, these carpets bridge the gap between traditional and contemporary design, making them highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike. Originating from the Kerman region in southeastern Iran, these carpets are known for their intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and high-quality materials. They often feature elaborate floral motifs, medallions, and intricate borders that reflect the artistry of Persian weaving. The color palette is diverse, commonly including deep reds, blues, and earthy tones, which harmoniously blend to create stunning visual compositions. One of the key characteristics of semi-antique Kerman carpets is their durability. Made from high-quality wool or silk, they have stood the test of time, maintaining their beauty and structural integrity. The intricate knotting techniques used in their creation also contribute to their longevity, making them suitable for both decorative and practical use. These carpets carry stories of the artisans who wove them, embodying cultural heritage and the artistic traditions of Persia. Each piece is unique, often showcasing variations in design and color, which adds to its charm and individuality. Incorporating a semi-antique Kerman carpet into a space not only elevates the aesthetic but also offers a connection to the rich history of Persian weaving. Whether displayed in a modern or traditional setting, these carpets serve as timeless treasures that blend artistry with functionality. This Carpet measures 12'2"x19'2"
