Antique Persian Kerman

An extraordinary red Persian rug, this monumental antique Kerman spans more than 31 feet in length—an oversized rug designed to anchor expansive interiors and architectural spaces with grandeur. Woven in the storied Kerman tradition, its deep crimson field features a classical central medallion surrounded by scrolling floral tendrils and palmettes, framed by broad borders adorned with intricate vine patterns and floral cartouches. Hand-knotted in Iran from fine wool, the rug exhibits a richly textured pile and enduring craftsmanship. Kerman weavings from the late 19th to early 20th centuries are celebrated for their bold palettes and elegant compositions, and this example—awash in reds with tonal accents—captures that artistry with distinction. Ideal for a great room, ballroom, or formal gallery, this piece delivers a striking sense of scale and old-world sophistication. A museum-quality piece, it embodies the cultural heritage and design mastery that define antique Persian works at their finest.
