Rare Antique Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Kerman, 380 × 476 cm Ref 11800120

This antique handwoven Kerman rug, in a classic medallion-and-corner design with floral motifs, stands as a testament to the splendor of the Kerman school—where color, composition, and storytelling are rendered through masterful knots. Measuring 380 × 476 cm (12'6" × 15'7") with an area of 18.09 m² (194.72 ft²), it belongs to those pieces destined for expansive, dignified settings, where a carpet serves not merely as a floor covering but as the focal point of grace and presence. The gentle peach ground paired with a light beige border creates a warm, pleasing harmony that pairs naturally with traditional and classical Iranian interiors as well as today’s blended spaces. Its density is about 3,300 knots/dm², striking an admirable balance between artistic detail and structural integrity. The medallion-and-corner layout features a central medallion like a radiant sun set amid balanced shrubs and blossoms, with four corners that sweep gracefully to embrace the field. A soft wool pile together with a durable cotton warp ensures both longevity and a pleasant hand.
