Power to the petals! Look at this one. It’s a 1930s Persian Kerman, and when I say ultra-luxurious, I mean it, and the weave is insanely tight. This is a head turner of a palatial Persian rug, and it has many attributes that make it so desirable.
Firstly, the colors of this rug have such a departure from the sea of antique Persian rugs that are dressed with so much red. The base color is tricky to pin down; it plays between a warm wheat and a warm ivory depending entirely on how the light catches it in the room. You’ve got all these gorgeous shades of blue mixed with tan, rich espresso, and deep cacao. Seriously, run your hand across it.
Then the size…grand! It offers so much and everything else on top will look even better. That’s truly a transformational and magical thing that old rugs trulh deserve credit for.
Now, the condition, style and texture. It literally feels like mink. So soft. It’s got this incredible, luxe pile with a subtle sheen that shifts as you walk past. It’s an all-over design covered in floral sprays, framed by a border band sitting on a navy blue ground that is abrashed. Plus, it's woven with vegetable-dyed wool and remarkably, it is in just excellent condition, as if it was in a formal room not often frequented.
Because of those grounded tones, it makes such a fantastic foundational piece. Throw it in a living room to anchor a sofa and coffee table, slip it under a dining room set where that intricate border can really frame the space, or drop it in a bedroom so it's the first impossibly soft thing your feet hit in the morning. It’s one old rug that pulls a whole room together with size, caliber, texture and style.
