The Story of Kerman Rugs

There's a widespread belief among Iranian people that it gets better and more beautiful as a Kerman rug becomes older. Kerman rug always signifies the most durable rug among traditional Persian carpets, with many Miscellaneous designs of a wide color range. There's not much evidence of Kerman's handicrafts before the 16th century, despite Marco Polo's writing about Kerman's arts and needleworks with patterns of trees, birds, and animals. In the 17th century, carpet weaving took the place of scarf weaving in Kerman. So the patterns of scarf weaving also replace Kerman carpet designs like the "Botheh" motif. After the First World War, the Kerman carpet's designs turned back to the traditional Persian patterns of the Safavid era due to changes in American consumer's tastes. But they were always committed to their unique patterns despite economic issues, until they began producing French-style rugs called "Aubusson" and "Savonnerie" carpets. These two designs refer to French-style paintings ordered by Kerman weavers to make rugs as delicate as other Kerman rugs. After so many peaks and troughs, the Kerman rug is still one of the best carpets to choose from, as they use Khorasan wool that is softer and thinner, making the delicate and tender surface of Kerman rugs. Many masterpieces of antique Kerman rugs exist in significant carpet collections and museums, like the "Figdor Carpet" in MAK Museum in Vienna and the "Sanguszko" carpet in Louvre Museum.
