The rugs of Kirman have always been among the most easily recognized and most beautiful fabrics of Persia, with curvilinear, graceful floral designs in a brilliant variety of colors. Consistently, from the 1870ΓÇÔs through the 1930ΓÇÔs, Kirman carpets exquisitely conceived and executed, with a more thorough development of design than one finds elsewhere. The designers were encouraged to be inventive by their status in the city; they were among the most respected local artisans. They probably have contributed more to the art form of carpet weaving than all designers from the rest of Persia combined.
