Fine Antique Persian Kirman Blue Handmade Wool Carpet BB7517 10'3" × 14'2" $70,000

A late 19th century Persian Kerman rugs for sale, the indigo field with an allover symmetrical pattern of camel-colored flowering vines within an unusual camel border with a wave-pattern formed by reciprocal vines.

Colors can range from ivory, blue and magenta to a more golden and saffron cast. As unique as their designer, no two Kerman rugs are precisely alike. Because of the tremendous demand for Kirman rugs, and because of the complex demographics of those generating the demand, a surprising variety of styles and designs were produced. While some Kirman rugs were woven explicitly for moneyed buyers from the West, there were also local consumers which only added to the diversity of the antique carpets. This diversity is seen in the range of motifs which can range from well-known and original Persian motifs to western motifs; striped and repetitive motifs, vase, Toranj (Citron), symmetric, garden, animal shapes, and pictorial Persian rugs.
