Make a lasting impression with this Antique Persian Kerman rug, measuring 8'2" x 5'4" — a generous size perfectly suited for living rooms, dining rooms, or as a grounding centerpiece in any large gathering space.
Hand-knotted with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, this rug showcases the elegant Booteh paisley motif that Kerman weavers have refined over centuries. Rows of graceful, teardrop-shaped paisley forms flow across the field in a rhythmic, all-over pattern — a design so iconic it has influenced textile art around the world. Kerman, located in southeastern Iran, has long been regarded as one of Persia's premier weaving centers, celebrated for refined artistry and masterful use of color.
The wool pile offers a soft, resilient hand-feel and excellent durability, while the cotton foundation provides structural stability that has helped rugs like this one endure for generations. As a genuine antique, this piece carries an authentic patina and softened color palette that reflect decades of history — qualities that simply cannot be replicated in new production.
For collectors and design enthusiasts alike, this antique Kerman paisley rug offers a rare combination of scale, pattern, and provenance — a true heirloom piece.
