This 7'1 x 10'5 Distressed Persian Kerman Rug, handwoven in the city of Kerman, Iran, reflects the unique artistry of traditional Persian rug weaving. Crafted with a cotton foundation and a wool pile, this rug showcases a remarkable level of craftsmanship despite its distressed state. The rug features color irregularities due to variations in the dyeing process, resulting in sections that didn’t absorb color fully, along with black spots that may appear as stains but are part of the default weaving. 

Design and Motifs:

The rug is designed around a traditional Persian medallion motif, surrounded by floral and vine elements. The central medallion is bold and detailed, anchoring the overall design. The surrounding field is adorned with intricate floral patterns that cascade towards the borders. The borders themselves feature a layered design, with geometric elements and floral vines framing the entire rug. The distressed nature of the rug gives it a vintage, aged look, which adds character and uniqueness to the piece.

Colors:

The base color of the rug is a deep crimson red, which dominates the central field. The borders contrast beautifully with muted blues and golds. Black accents appear within the medallion and borders, blending with the irregularities in the dye. These black patches, which may look like stains at first glance, are part of the natural design process, adding to the distressed and antique aesthetic. Subtle ivory highlights provide a soft balance to the deeper hues.

• Crimson Red: The dominant field color, rich and bold, giving the rug a vibrant presence.
• Muted Blue: Seen in the borders and accents, providing a soft contrast to the red.
• Gold: Subtle highlights in the floral and geometric motifs, adding warmth and depth.
• Black: Used as an accent, including the black spots which add to the distressed aesthetic.
