This striking vintage Persian Kerman textile embroidery is a vibrant showcase of traditional Persian artistry and intricate needlework. Dominated by vivid reds, purples, and oranges, the textile bursts with dynamic energy and cultural symbolism.
At the heart of the piece lies a circular medallion surrounded by a symmetrical array of boteh (paisley) motifs, symbols of life and eternity in Persian design. Each paisley is meticulously outlined and filled with fine stitchwork, alternating with floral rosettes and serrated leaves that radiate out like sunrays from the centre.
A series of richly embroidered borders frames the composition, each brimming with dense floral and paisley designs. The use of contrasting tones and delicate shading within the embroidery creates an almost three-dimensional effect, bringing depth and movement to the flat surface.
Crafted likely in the mid-20th century, this Kerman textile exemplifies the fusion of utility and decoration, historically used for ceremonial coverings, table spreads, or decorative wall hangings. A rare collector’s piece, it brings warmth, heritage, and bold beauty into any interior.
