The ancient weaving traditions of the Kerman region, where this remarkable rug was crafted 40-60 years ago, represent centuries of Persian artistry passed down through generations of master weavers.

The Kheshti or garden pattern featured in this rug carries profound symbolic meaning in Persian culture, representing paradise on earth through intricate geometric compartments that mirror the formal gardens of ancient Persia. The geometric borders and field designs create a harmonious balance between earthly beauty and spiritual significance, while the natural wool construction ensures lasting durability and authentic texture that improves with age.
Rich camel tones serve as the perfect neutral base, allowing the deeper burgundy and dark red elements to create dramatic focal points throughout the design. The antique gold highlights catch and reflect light beautifully, while navy blue and ivory accents provide striking contrast that enhances the overall visual impact of this semi antique masterpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Sirjan rug genuinely hand-knotted?
Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Kerman, Persia. It is not machine-made, hand-tufted, or hand-hooked. The knot structure is clearly visible on the reverse side of the rug, confirming its authentic hand-knotted construction.
What does the age classification mean for this Sirjan rug?
This Sirjan rug is classified as antique, meaning it is 100 years old or more. By international convention and U.S. Customs standards, a rug must be at least 100 years old to qualify as antique. Antique Persian rugs are the most prized category among collectors, valued for their historical significance, natural dye patina, aged wool softness, rarity, and the way their colors have mellowed and deepened beautifully over a century or more of careful use.
Where does the Sirjan rug originate?
This Sirjan rug originates from Kerman, Persia. The Kerman region has a long and distinguished history of rug weaving, with local artisans developing their own distinctive design vocabulary, color traditions, and technical approaches that set their rugs apart from other Persian weaving centers. The village rug category from this region is particularly known for its kheshti (garden), geometric design traditions.
What knot type was used to weave this Sirjan rug?
This Sirjan rug was woven using both the asymmetrical Persian (Senneh) knot and the symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knot. The asymmetrical Persian knot, which wraps around one warp thread, allows for finer curvilinear design detail. The symmetrical Turkish knot, which wraps around two warp threads, produces a more robust pile. The use of both techniques reflects the weaver's mastery and adaptability within the regional weaving tradition.
Is this rug one of a kind?
Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. As an authentic hand-knotted Persian rug, no two examples are identical. Only one of this exact rug is available in our collection. Once sold, this specific piece cannot be reordered or replicated. Every hand-knotted Persian rug is a unique artifact of its weaver's skill, materials, and creative expression.
Does this rug come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. Every rug purchased from Los Angeles Home of Rugs includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the rug's origin, age, materials, construction method, and appraised value. This certificate is accepted by major U.S. insurance providers and supports resale, estate, and auction documentation.
How do I care for this wool rug?
Vacuum gently without a beater bar once a week in the direction of the pile. Rotate the rug every 6 to 12 months to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth without rubbing. For deep cleaning, use a professional Persian rug cleaning specialist who uses hand-washing methods appropriate for natural wool fibers and aged dyes. Avoid steam cleaning or harsh chemical treatments.
