Kirman carpets - Persian carpets with a floral pattern

Kerman (Persian کرمان, Kermān) is a city in southeastern Iran - Persia.

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.
