Description

Kirman carpets are always high quality, woven on a cotton foundation, designs consist of central medallions with floral motifs.  From the 17th century Kerman or Kirman has been a city notorious for fine elegant weaving and the famous vase carpets of the Safavid period (1501-1722) are regarded as the most valuable and exquisite in weaving history. Early examples from the 17th century have set records for sales at auctions.

FAQs

Kirman carpets originate from the city of Kerman in south-central Persia, historically renowned for sophisticated floral designs, intricate central medallions, and fine master-weaver craftsmanship.

These carpets are traditionally handknotted using a wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation, employing asymmetrical Persian knots that allow for exceptional detail and durability.

Authentic pieces feature dense knot counts, distinctive vegetable-dyed palettes often incorporating soft rose, blue, and ivory tones, and signature complex floral motifs without geometric rigidity.

An antique oriental carpet acts as a grounding anchor in a contemporary living space, contrasting cleanly with minimalist furniture or complementing layered maximalist schemes.

Preserve the pile by vacuuming gently without a rotating beater bar, keeping the carpet out of direct sunlight, and having it professionally washed by a specialist in antique textiles.
