Kerman
Kerman rugs are woven in the city of Kerman in southeastern Iran and several small towns
and villages in the vicinity. The pattern of Kerman rugs is almost always curvilinear with the
exception of the famous Kerman pictorials which fall under the pictorial category of pattern.
Kerman rugs are woven in a variety of intricate designs from cartoons. The more modern
designs mainly developed for the Western market in the late 19th century are either
Aubussons or Koran (Quran) medallion-and-corners with an open field. The open field is
actually an important distinguishing characteristic of these modern Kerman rugs. The
traditional Kerman designs consist of Shah Abbasi medallion-and-corner, all-over floral,
all-over boteh, striped designs, panelled garden, tree-of-life, prayer, vase, garden, hunting,
animal, and the famous elaborate pictorials using both Persian and European themes. Usually
15 to 30 colors are used in one rug. The two most common colors used in antique and
semi-antique rugs are rich red and red-blue. More recent rugs tend to have pastel colors
such as lime green, pink, ivory and gray-blue. Turquoise, orange, champagne and beige are
also among the commonly used colors. Kerman rugs are woven with the asymmetric
(Persian) knot. Quality Kerman carpets and rugs are of very high quality, just as Tabriz and
Isfahan
Knots
Rugs and Carpets from Kerman have very tight foundations and the knots are Persian. The
quality of the carpet depends upon the number of knots, which varies, but averages from
around 120 KPSI
Foundation
wool pile and cotton warp
