FAQs

Originating from the city of Kerman in south-eastern Iran, Kirman carpets are renowned for their intricate botanical patterns, curvilinear floral designs, and central medallion layouts. Historically produced by skilled weavers using refined spinning techniques, these carpets featured sophisticated dyes and dense knotting.

Kirman carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using high-grade wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. The tightly spun wool allows for intricate detailing and a soft pile, coloured with natural vegetable and mineral dyes.

Authentic Kirman carpets exhibit a distinct weave with asymmetric cotton knots, intricate curvilinear floral motifs, and often a central floral medallion flanked by spandrels. The reverse side displays clear knotting texture with subtle colour variations characteristic of natural dyes.

A Kirman floral carpet can anchor a neutral living space by laying the foundation for modern furniture with clean lines. Combining traditional patterned textiles with contemporary timber or metal elements creates a balanced interior aesthetic.

Vacuum the carpet regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to protect the wool fibres. Address spills immediately by blotting with a damp cloth, and seek professional cleaning specialist services for deep maintenance.
