Kerman, in southeastern Iran, is located just southeast
of Tehran. This long time carpet weaving center is where the prized
Kerman Persian carpet is produced. Equal in quality to Tabriz and
Isfahan, the Kerman Persian carpet has long been a favorite among
western collectors who appreciate the superb craftsmanship and exquisite
designs. A Kerman Persian carpet may be hand woven in both the city and
surrounding villages, although those made in the city are though to be
of a higher quality. Skilled artisans use Persian knots in order to
create the intricate detail on these masterpieces.
There is no finer example of pictorial design than the Kerman Persian
carpet. Although they are often imitated, they are unequaled.
Traditionally a Kerman Persian carpet has medallions and outer borders
that are intricately detailed and woven from cartoons. One of the most
famous is the Eski-Kerman, a single medallion with arabesque, typically
with solid and lighter colored fields. The open field is actually an
important distinguishing characteristic of a modern Kerman Persian
carpet. Other classic designs are Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner,
all-over floral, all-over boteh, and tree-of-life. The antique and
semi-antique rugs have red and blue combinations, while pastel shades
like turquoise, orange, champagne, and beige are found on newer rugs.
The reds and blues in a Kerman Persian carpet are lighter in comparison
to carpets made in other cities. Fifteen to thirty colors are generally
used in each carpet.
The foundation of a Kerman Persian carpet is usually cotton, however an
exceptionally fine one may have a foundation of pure silk. Kerman
Persian carpet materials can be all wool, all silk, or a combination or
wool and silk. Although they are famous for their large sizes, smaller
sizes are available as well. The Kerman Persian carpet is highly prized
for the quality of craftsmanship, and exquisite designs and colors.
These are works of art to be enjoyed and treasured.
