This vintage Persian Kerman embroidery textile is a magnificent example of fine craftsmanship. It showcases the rich artistic heritage of Kerman, a city renowned for its exquisite needlework and carpets.

The textile features a brilliant crimson red field, dominated by a grand central medallion, radiating outwards in intricate floral and palmette patterns, almost like a sunburst. Surrounding the central design are elaborately embroidered paisleys (boteh motifs), a symbol deeply rooted in Persian art, representing life, fertility and eternity. These motifs are finely worked with delicate threads, likely silk or metallic, adding shimmer and texture against the vibrant ground.

The wide border is richly adorned with rows of floral vines, rosettes, and palmettes, carefully balanced and symmetrical, enhancing the piece's regal elegance. The entire composition speaks of opulence and refinement, likely intended for ceremonial or high-status use, possibly as a wall hanging, table cover, or luxurious drapery.

This textile reflects Kerman's mastery in embroidery and preserves a piece of Persian cultural identity, where colour, form and meticulous craftsmanship come together in timeless beauty.
