About the Item
76758 Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 12’01 x 15’11. Evoking the refined sensibilities of a bygone aristocracy, this hand-knotted antique Persian Kerman rug is a rarefied symphony of courtly elegance and masterful craftsmanship. Woven in the tradition of 19th-century palace commissions, it exudes the opulent softness of French Victorian charm, tempered by the composure of Georgian classicism. Every precious thread is a brushstroke, every bloom a deliberate flourish — together forming a textile garden that could rival the painted tapestries of the Tuileries or the salons of Bath.
At the heart of this exceptional masterpiece lies a sophisticated Kerman medallion, not bold but beautifully balanced — the quiet centerpiece of a field overflowing with meticulously rendered floral sprays, hyacinths, delicate rosettes, curling tendrils, and sickle leaves. The all-over composition invites the eye to wander without end, like a promenade through an imperial jardin à la française. This is not pattern for pattern’s sake, but a visual poem of nature tamed by geometry, emotion anchored by design.
Framing this exquisite work of art is a traditional Kirman border, distinguished by its poetic intrusion into the field — not as interruption, but as gentle crescendo. It creates a lush, ornamental enclosure, blurring the line between edge and interior, structure and flourish. The color palette — refined ivories, soft blush, muted sage, and aged rose — is restrained and romantic, carrying the quiet authority of age and elegance. Time has only enhanced its beauty, fading the tones into a dreamy patina that speaks to centuries of care and continuity.
Rugs of this scale and grace — once reserved for palatial interiors and Parisian salons — have become increasingly rare. This is not merely décor; it is a legacy woven into wool, a tangible artifact of design history that lends cultural cachet and heirloom status to any space it inhabits. For collectors of distinction and tastemakers of the highest order, this Persian Kerman is not just a rug — it is a story, a status symbol, and a work of enduring art.
Rendered in variegated shades of beige, burgundy, wine, navy blue, royal blue, rose, pink, taupe, pistachio, sand, tan, almond, ecru, and camel with other accent colors.
