This exquisite hand-knotted wool signed vintage Persian Kerman rug, crafted by the renowned workshop of master weaver Rashid Farrokhi, radiates elegance and sophistication. Its intricate design draws inspiration from the Khatamkari style, a Persian art form known for its detailed inlay work. At its heart lies an eight-point star medallion, perfectly balanced by smaller star pendants at either end, creating a mesmerizing focal point. The medallion’s geometric precision and intricate patterns are a testament to the artisan’s skill, blending tradition and artistry seamlessly.

The Kerman rug’s ornate composition features an intricate interplay of six-point stars, hexagons, floral roundels, and fretwork bands. These motifs, rendered in vibrant colors, form a cohesive visual narrative that ties the entire design together. The rich polychromatic palette enhances the rug’s aesthetic appeal, creating a striking contrast between the bold central medallion and the delicate embellishments in the surrounding field. Each element seems to flow into the next, evoking a sense of unity and harmony.

This masterpiece showcases the signature Kerman craftsmanship with its remarkable use of color and symmetry. The incrustation pattern throughout the rug reflects the complexity and depth of traditional Persian design. Every detail, from the finely knotted motifs to the harmonious arrangement of colors, contributes to the rug’s captivating presence. The borders, adorned with intricate fretwork and floral motifs, frame the central field beautifully, adding an extra layer of sophistication to this already stunning piece.
