Antique Persian Kirman Carpet BB3478

An early 20th century Persian Kirman carpet, the abrashed dusty pink field with an allover trellis of swirling vines and flowerheads within a dense midnight blue palmette and vinery border.

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 antique carpets, 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 persian rugs runner. 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 carpets for sale.
