Story Behind the Art Celebrated for their technical mastery and intricate designs, Kerman rugs originate from the historic city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, a renowned center of fine rug weaving since the Safavid era (1501–1732). Over centuries, the region has earned global recognition for producing some of the most elegant and artistically refined Persian rugs. Traditional Kerman rugs often feature floral or architectural motifs framing a central medallion, though variations include Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner layouts, garden themes, vases, trees of life, hunting scenes, animals, all-over boteh motifs, floral compositions, and stripe patterns. Among these, the vase and boteh designs are the most iconic—distinguished by repeating vases or paisley-like botehs set against rich floral backgrounds adorned with palmettes. Renowned for their fine weaving, delicate detailing, and remarkable color diversity, Kerman rugs can incorporate 15 to 30 hues within a single piece. Each rug may take over a year to complete, reflecting the enduring patience, precision, and artistic devotion that define this timeless Persian tradition.
