This Persian Kirman rug dates from 1880 and measures 181 cm high by 136 cm wide, with a depth of 0.5 cm. The piece consists of a wool pile woven onto a cotton foundation. A large crimson floral medallion sits on a cream ivory field, surrounded by intricate floral borders and patterned corner spandrels, with fringed ends completing the composition. The textile displays additional tones of dark blue, soft pink, and muted olive green within the floral motifs and geometric guard stripes. Slight wear is visible mainly to the centre of the field, while the edges and fringe show the natural softening expected of an antique floor covering. In a contemporary home, the rug works well placed directly on hardwood or flagstone flooring in a hallway, bedroom, or living space to add warmth and traditional pattern. The pile remains clean and floor ready, requiring no immediate restoration before placement.

FAQs

Originating from the city of Kerman in South-Eastern Persia, Kirman rugs are distinguished by elaborate central medallion designs, curvilinear floral motifs, and multi-bordered frames.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a beater bar, rotate the rug periodically to balance foot traffic, and use professional rug cleaning specialists when required.

The complex floral details and rich colour palette serve as a focal point to anchor minimalist furniture, bridging traditional craftsmanship with contemporary spaces.

Authentic examples feature asymmetrical Persian knots, flexible woven backings showing clear knot patterns on the reverse, and subtle colour variations known as abrash.

These rugs are woven using fine wool pile hand-knotted onto a sturdy cotton warp and weft foundation, incorporating natural vegetable dyes for rich colouration.
