Antique Kerman Millefleur Rug 11' x 17'. This exceptional antique Kerman rug, handwoven in Persia circa 1910, features the enchanting millefleurs (“a thousand flowers”) design—a soft, intricate tapestry of delicate leaves and floral forms that appears to drift effortlessly across the surface. Woven on an elegant ivory field, the pattern gently merges into the surrounding border, creating a seamless, atmospheric composition characteristic of early 20th-century Kerman artistry.
The palette—blues, creams, and light beige—enhances the rug’s gentle, almost ethereal presence, while the finely knotted wool construction speaks to the superior craftsmanship of the Kerman weaving tradition. Graceful, refined, and richly detailed, this rug embodies both decorative sophistication and historical charm, making it an outstanding focal piece for a grand interior. Colors: blues/creams/light beige.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
