Description

The refined character and gorgeous colors of this Persian Kerman rug form the turn of the 20th century are remarkably suitable for modern design trends. This beautiful shabby chic rug has a rustic quality that is perfect for your Bohemian sanctuary. Kerman is a city that is known for creating the fine carpets that were used in the palaces and public spaces of the Safavid Dynasty courts. Their rugs are still known today for their beauty, quality, and durability.

This Persian carpet has a high level of detail that is only possible by using fine weaving. The carpet brings in elements of the natural world through its abundant traditional floral motifs that include cypress trees, a symbol of longevity, and eternal life. You will also find the boteh, or paisley among the designs of the rug, which also represents eternal life. The theme of the antique rug is everlasting beauty, and one can certainly agree that it is a captivating and timeless piece.

The colors of the rug feature the traditional blues and reds that characterize antique Kerman rugs, but this one has aged to bring out greys, salmons, and colors that remind you of the spices that were once traded along the Silk Road as merchants visited this famed stop. It has an old-world, global character that looks well-traveled and seasoned with time.

This magnificent rug would be perfect for a traditional room where it will recreate memories of times past, but it would also add its graciousness and character as the focal point of a modern room. This piece is versatile and adds a cozy feel to the space that modern rug producers try to recreate, but nothing can match the beauty of an authentic antique like this one. Whether your style is classic or a bit Boho chic, this extraordinary piece will be the perfect beginning to a beautiful and exotic room design.
