9.5x13.5 Vintage Kerman Carpet

Vintage Persian Kerman "Rococo Seafoam" Grand Estate Carpet (Circa 1960s)

Elevate your home with the ethereal beauty of this magnificent 1960s Kerman carpet. Kerman rugs are legendary in the world of Persian art for their fine weave, "broken" floral designs, and graceful, curvilinear elegance. At an expansive 9'9" x 13'5", this grand-scale masterpiece provides a luminous, serene foundation for a formal living room, primary suite, or grand dining hall.

Why It’s Unique

This Kerman is defined by its European-inspired Rococo aesthetic and its rare "Seafoam" color story.

• Rococo Star Medallion: The centerpiece features a sophisticated medallion adorned with diminutive floral buds, all wrapped in a "Rococo" stylized outline. This French-inspired flourish gives the rug a regal, palace-ready feel that is softer and more romantic than traditional geometric Persian rugs.

• Reciprocating Floral Sprays: The "open" field is masterfully designed with delicate floral sprays placed along the perimeter. These sprays mirror the contour of the central medallion, creating a harmonious "echo" effect that makes the rug feel both airy and architecturally balanced.

• The "Powder Blue Seafoam" Ground: Departing from the usual deep jewel tones, this carpet features a breathtaking main field of dusty powder blue and seafoam. This cooling, water-like base is beautifully contrasted by accents of cochineal red, dusty rose, and coffee brown, creating a "botanical garden" palette.

• Grand Architectural Scale: Finding a vintage Kerman of this size—nearly 10 feet wide and over 13 feet long—is a rare opportunity. Its proportions are ideal for anchoring large-scale furniture groupings while maintaining an open, uncluttered feel.

Condition & Unsurpassed Quality

Crafted in the 1960s during a period of exceptional weaving in Kerman, this carpet has been preserved in remarkable condition. It offers a plushness and clarity that is difficult to find in vintage textiles.

• "Like-New" Full Pile: Unlike most vintage rugs that show decades of wear, this piece retains its original full pile height, even across the entire surface. This provides a luxurious, soft feel underfoot and ensures a crisp, vibrant display of the intricate floral details.

• Pristine Preservation: The original side cord selvages are completely intact, and the ends are fully secured. It is a true "time capsule" piece that has been protected for over half a century.

• Showroom Ready: Recently professionally cleaned, this rug is ready for immediate placement. Its robust construction and premium wool quality ensure it will remain a centerpiece of your home for many years to come.
