About This Kerman
Where it comes from
This is a Kerman, a city-workshop rug from the desert oases of southeastern Iran, measuring 156 x 87 cm (5'1" x 2'10"). Kerman weavers built their reputation, going back to the Safavid vase-carpet workshops, on dense, curling floral designs set against pale grounds of ivory, pink or soft blue. Here the ground runs the other way: a deep navy, the kind this city rarely uses.
What you see
Against that navy field a floral medallion sits at the centre, its pendants reaching toward both ends, and a dense scatter of flower sprays fills the ground around it. The palette is warmer than the type usually allows: coral-pink and dusty rose blossoms recur throughout the field, with dusky blue and touches of cream and rust worked in between. A wide camel-gold border carries the same floral vocabulary, a cream vine scrolling its length, held in place by narrow guard stripes in pale blue and red.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted, wool pile on a cotton warp, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, fine work that lets the curling stems and small petals stay crisp rather than blurring into the ground. The wool itself is hand-spun, and at twelve millimetres the pile carries just enough depth to catch the light unevenly: the lighter florals hold a slight sheen, while the navy ground stays matte and sits back behind them. That contrast between sheen and matte is what gives the medallion its glow rather than the colour alone.
At home
A rug this size is made for a hallway or a landing, for the floor beside a bed, or for a study where it sits under a desk chair. Against a pale floor the navy holds its own without darkening the room, and the coral and dusty rose keep the corner it occupies warm rather than sombre. Underfoot the wool is dense and springy rather than soft and sinking, sturdy enough for a well-used passage rather than a room to be kept for best. Catch it under a lamp in the evening and the florals lift a little off the dark ground, the sheen moving across the pile as the light does.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 156 × 87 cm (1.36 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 1.36 m² that is roughly 270,000 to 340,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
