9'7" x 13' Persian Kerman Rug | Red Shah Abbas Floral with Pictorial Border | 240-260 KPSI

This original Persian Kerman rug was woven about 40 years ago yet has never been used, reaching you in brand new condition. Knotted at 240 to 260 knots per square inch with a plush 3/8" wool pile on a cotton foundation, it carries the classic Shah Abbas design that made Kerman one of the most admired weaving centers in Persia.

Design and Motifs

A scalloped medallion in light blue and soft beige floats at the center of a rich red field densely covered with palmettes, blossoms, and curved leafy vines. The surrounding ivory border panels are the standout feature: a pictorial garden of willows, flowering trees, and birds circles the entire field, a signature of fine Kerman work. A camel outer border with scrolling florals and red corner cartouches completes the frame.

Colors and Placement

Rich red dominates the field, balanced by ivory, light blue, beige, and camel with green accents throughout the florals. The warm palette and generous 10x13 size make it a commanding centerpiece for a large living room, formal dining room, library, or executive office.

Origin and Construction

Every knot was tied by hand in 100% wool on a cotton foundation, producing a dense, durable pile that will serve for generations. Rugs of this age that were never placed on a floor are increasingly hard to find.
