The ancient province of Kirman is famous for producing some of the world's most elegant and refined oriental carpets. Kirman was known as a creative Mecca, where designs were conceived and woven by masters of the are. Our graceful Empress Kirman is based on one of Karastan's most timeless and classic patterns - featuring floral bouquets arranged within cartouche panels. The panels resemble the many-hued domes that towered, amid picturesque gardens and flowering trees, over the provincial city of Kirman. Our Empress Kirman rug coordinates nicely with pattern #549-15002 Agra, and #549-15005 Agra Ivory, from our Ashara rug collection.
