Antique Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Kerman, 133 × 218 cm Ref 10200027

This handwoven rug with an all-over pictorial design depicts a rural scene within an arched frame, set against architectural structures in the background. The scene includes two animals in the foreground. Measuring 133 × 218 cm (4'4" × 7'2") with an area of 2.9 m² (31.22 ft²) and a weaving density of approximately 5,100 knots/dm², it stands at the threshold of finesse and structural coherence. The knots are executed with notable precision while preserving the authenticity and robustness of Kerman’s traditional weaving. Woven in soft wool with a cotton warp, it achieves a pleasing and durable structure—an effective blend of beauty, warmth, and resilience. A cream ground provides a calm setting for the animal motifs—figures inspired by the worlds of Iranian myth and nature—brought to life with distinctive craftsmanship. A dark navy border lends balance and depth, framing the piece like a classic surround and amplifying its visual presence. This all-over pictorial rug is not merely a floor covering but a visual document of a symbolic ecosystem and the artistic taste of Kermani weavers—an apt choice for interiors where art holds an authentic place and for those who seek meaning, roots, and beauty.
