One of our customers brought in a beautiful antique Kerman Rug for cleaning recently. It is a piece that has been in their family for a while and holds a lot of sentimental value to them. Persian Kerman rugs are extremely beautiful and are woven with intense care. In fact, tightly woven rugs often have great detailing and artwork on them. Of course, Kirman rugs have been made for a very, very long time, and my friend Dr. Taher Sabahi who lives in Torino, Italy has written a book on 500 years of rug weaving history in Kerman.
