This Persian Kerman rug, originating around 1935, presents a traditional design featuring an ivory background with a navy border. Crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, it exemplifies the fine craft typical of Kerman rugs of this era, characterized by high knot counts that allow for intricate details.
Historically, Kerman rugs have been recognized since the early 17th century for their artistic and technical excellence. Situated in southeastern Iran, Kerman itself is renowned for its long-standing carpet weaving tradition, enriched by diverse cultural influences. This cultural heritage is evident in the rug's dense, complex floral patterns and curvilinear designs, which showcase the artistry of Persian rug weaving.
The region’s high-quality wool is a significant factor contributing to the durability and fine texture of Kerman rugs. This particular rug’s intricate pattern includes various motifs such as flowers, leaves, and vines, all interwoven to create a harmonious and lush appearance. The main color, ivory, serves as a subtle backdrop to these ornate designs, which are highlighted with deep blues, rich reds, and subtle hints of green and beige.
The borders are a notable feature, exhibiting multiple layers, each with repeating patterns and distinct color schemes. The use of deep blues, reds, and golden tones in the borders not only frames the central design but also enhances its visual appeal. These ornamental borders are adorned with repeating floral and vine motifs that complement the central design.
A high degree of symmetry characterizes the rug’s layout, with a central medallion and surrounding motifs mirrored on both axes, leading to a balanced and pleasing appearance. The dense patterning, with minimal open space, further emphasizes the level of detail and craftsmanship involved.
This Kerman rug stands as a testament to the enduring appeal and technical mastery of Persian carpet weaving, encapsulating the rich historical and cultural significance of Kerman's weaving traditions.

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.
