Story Behind the Art: Emerging from the city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, Kerman rugs have gained widespread acclaim for their impeccable technical precision and intricate designs. Their storied heritage can be traced back to the illustrious Safavid era (1501-1732), solidifying Kerman as a renowned center for the art of rug weaving. Kerman rugs are characterized by their elaborate patterns, often featuring floral or architectural motifs adorning the primary border, complemented by a central medallion gracing the rug's field. The diversity of designs is remarkable, encompassing Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner patterns, depictions of lush gardens, elegant vases, scenes of the tree of life, hunting motifs, depictions of various animals, as well as all-over patterns like boteh and intricate floral compositions, occasionally interspersed with elegant stripes. Notably, the vase or boteh pattern stands as an iconic representation, showcasing an all-over motif of vases or boteh elements scattered across the rug's surface, set against a backdrop adorned with finely detailed floral motifs and palmettes. Kerman rugs are revered for their exquisite weaving techniques, delicate patterns, and an extensive array of colors employed in their creation. Crafting a single Kerman rug is a painstaking process that typically spans over a year, with artisans employing anywhere from 15 to 30 distinct colors in each rug. This unwavering dedication to craftsmanship results in truly exceptional works of art, firmly establishing Kerman rugs as exemplars of textile artistry and sophistication.
