Kirman carpets with a floral pattern

It is also the center of the province of Kerman and is located on an approximately altitude of 1750 m. For centuries, Kirman has been an important manufacturing site for artistically hand-knotted Persian rugs. Kirman carpets are often opulently floral patterned and have a very good quality. The carpet patterns are mostly designed with a decorative medallion. The group of Kirman carpets also includes Yazd (Yasd) rugs and Kerman Lavar / Rawar / Raver. The city of Yazd is already halfway between Isfahan and Kerman, but the knotting and design are very similar in both types of carpet. Number 1 and 2 of the most expensive antique rugs at auction are occupied by Kerman Sikle Leaf carpets from the 16th century.
