Capturing the romantic, elaborate artistry that made Kerman rugs famous among royal courts, this piece centers around a magnificent floral medallion framed by an ornate ivory border. Delicate scrolls in turquoise, soft blue, and dusty rose balance the regal red background. Handcrafted in durable wool this rug bridges centuries of classical textile art with a fine color palette. \n*Note: The color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade looks from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order.
