Kermán (antique, circa 1890)

Kerman carpets originate from the city of Kerman in southeastern Iran, which has been one of the most important centers of Persian carpet production for centuries. Kerman is known for its long history and rich cultural heritage. The city is home to Zoroastrian fire temples. The Tree of Life motif, which dominates the carpet's composition, is not only an aesthetic element but also represents a profound symbol of the connection between heaven and earth, between mortality and eternity. The carpet is woven from exceptionally soft and shiny wool with a fine texture and rich colors. Shades of brick red, indigo blue, cream, and green create a harmonious whole. The tree of life is depicted here in a stylized form with flowers and birds. Kerman carpets are a symbol of luxury, taste, and deep cultural tradition. Whether decorating historic palaces, galleries, or modern interiors, a Kerman carpet always appears as a work of art that combines beauty with craftsmanship.
