Kerman is an ancient city, with an incredible history going back over a thousand years. Marco Polo was one of the first westerners to view Kerman rugs. The city is located in the central south-eastern section of Iran, in the province that bears its name. Kerman rugs and carpets are perhaps one of the most recognizable within the antique Persian rug category. A typical pattern for Kerman rugs and carpets is a floral or architectural theme in the main border with a central medallion in the field. Other patterns include the finer Kerman Lavar style with garden, tree-of-life, vase, and all-over mille fleur designs, or the many pictorials which tell the story of a significant figure or event in history. The vase design carpets originated during the Safavieh dynasty, and are among the greatest masterpieces of Persian weaving.

? Choosing the right rug can transform your living room!

• Size matters: Make sure your rug fits the seating area all furniture legs should rest on it or at least the front legs.
• Style & color: Pick a rug that complements your furniture. Neutral rugs work well for bold furniture, while colorful rugs add vibrancy to neutral rooms.
• Material: For high-traffic areas, choose durable materials like wool or synthetic fibers.
• Texture: Plush rugs add warmth, while flat-weave rugs are easier to maintain.
