Kerman rugs, also written Kirman rugs, come from a varied southeastern Iranian weaving region. Classical carpets attributed to Kerman include vase and garden compositions, while later production includes floral, pictorial, shawl-related, export-market and regional designs. The name does not guarantee one palette, knot count or quality level.
Compare the complete design, foundation, weave, materials, condition and provenance of each rug rather than relying on one motif. Read our source-led Kerman rug guide, then place the region within the wider encyclopedia of Persian rug types.
