Kerman carpets
Filigree fabrics, delicate patterns and an incomparable color palette
Kerman-Carpets are sold in the city of Kerman and some neighboring villages in the southeast of the Persian manufactured. The weavers in this region are extremely skilled and talented, producing carpets with a variety of intricate designs.
In the south of Persia, in the desert oasis of Dast-e-Lut with the exotic name, lies the city of Kerman with around a quarter of a million inhabitants.
Founded in the 4th century, the city was an important destination when trade between India and which Persia flourished centuries ago.
Today it has earned a place of honor in the carpet industry, having been home to a particularly rare and exceptionally beautiful work of art, the Kerman carpets, since at least the 15th century.
The curvilinear pattern is predominant in most carpets, closely followed by another popular pattern, the famous Kerman painterly carpets, which are grouped in a separate category of 'painterly' patterns.
Where are Kerman carpets made?
Kerman rugs are known for their distinctive designs and intricate imagery derived from Persian and European themes. Traditional Kerman patterns include the Shah Abbasi medallion and corners, garden, vase, tree of life, hunting and animals, all-over boteh, all-over flowers and stripes.
The most famous pattern of Kerman carpets is the vase or boteh pattern, which consists of an all-over pattern of vases or botehs set on a background of floral and palmette motifs across the teppich are scattered. This very vibrant and attractive pattern is very popular among homeowners and rug collectors.
Two other styles of Kerman carpets that showcase the superior craftsmanship of these master weavers are the range of exquisitely curvy all-over motifs and the intricate central Kerman medallions and corners with ornate borders.
More modern designs consist of Aubusson or Koran medallions and corners with a simple, open field. The open field is an important distinguishing feature of modern Persian Kerman rugs, designed primarily for the western market.
The colors of Kerman carpets
The Kerman weavers' love of color is evident in the rich use of color in their creations. Between 15 and 30 colors are used for each rug, with a preference for bright and bold shades of magenta, blue and golden saffron. The most commonly used tones in antique carpets are red-blue and deep red, as well as orange and turquoise.
In sharp contrast are the more modern carpet weavers who use more pastel colors such as champagne, lime green, blue grey, pink and beige.
Whether light or pastel, the key feature of all these rugs is the even distribution of colors, achieved through the unique process of dyeing the wool.
Construction of Kerman carpets
Kerman weavers have earned a well-deserved reputation as skilled craftsmen, producing quality fabrics of excellent construction and workmanship. The carpets are woven from high-quality Carmania wool. Averaging about 8 feet by 10 feet, these rugs are larger than most other types of Persian rugs, although some weavers have preferred to weave smaller rugs.
The rugs are tightly woven with the asymmetrical Persian knot on a firm cotton ground. Some weavers employed an unusual construction technique that resulted in a wavy surface, giving these rugs an extra dimension. The average number of knots per square inch varies from a minimum of 120 to as high as 800, which is denser than the average carpet.
Antique Kerman rugs are known for their fine weave, delicate patterns and incomparable color palette. Many Kerman rug owners end up using their prized pieces as wall decorations to protect them from shoe damage.
Popularity of Kerman carpets
The popularity of Kerman rugs is due to several reasons.
On the one hand, the high-quality wool available in the region, the so-called Carmania wool, which is considered to be very durable and shiny, is used to create these masterpieces.
In addition, these rugs hold a special place in the hearts of collectors because they feature a wide range of designs, ranging from a central medallion depicting animals, garden panels, vases, the tree of life, hunting scenes and elaborate paintings.
