Story Behind the Art Renowned for their technical excellence and intricate artistry, Kerman rugs originate from the historic city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, a renowned weaving center since the Safavid era (1501–1732). These masterpieces reflect centuries of craftsmanship and design evolution that have made Kerman one of the most celebrated names in Persian rug history. Traditional Kerman rugs often feature floral and architectural motifs, with a central medallion framed by ornate borders. Other classic patterns include Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner layouts, garden scenes, vases, trees of life, hunting compositions, animals, all-over boteh motifs, and stylized floral stripes. Among them, the vase and boteh designs remain the most iconic—recognized for their rhythmic repetition of vases or paisley-like botehs set against fields of blossoms and palmettes. Noted for their fine weaving, delicate detailing, and extraordinary color range, Kerman rugs often incorporate 15 to 30 hues in a single piece. Each rug may take over a year to complete, a testament to the patience, precision, and enduring artistry that define this Persian legacy.
