Story Behind the Art : Kerman rugs originate from the famed workshop city of Kerman in southeastern Iran—a weaving center esteemed since the Safavid period (1501-1732). Known for their exceptional technical quality and elaborate artistry, Kerman rugs often feature floral or architectural borders surrounding a central medallion. Other classic patterns include Shah Abbasi medallions, garden layouts, tree-of-life compositions, hunting scenes, vase designs, boteh repeats, striped motifs, and richly layered florals. The celebrated "vase" or "boteh" Kerman pattern—characterized by repeated vases or botehs set against lush floral backgrounds—is among the most iconic. These rugs are distinguished by fine knotting, delicate pattern work, and a remarkably broad color palette requiring 15-30 shades per rug. With weaving often taking more than a year, Kerman rugs remain symbols of Persian technical brilliance and artistic depth.
