The name Kirman immediately conjures up the splendour of the spring, a flowery weave of wool depicting flower beds, trees and rose gardens. This is the miracle effected by its skilled, patient craftsmen, for distant Kirman, mentioned by Marco Polo in the 13th century for the quality of its yarns and for the legendary ability of the local spinners, rises on the edges of one of the most arid deserts of the world. And yet its rugs are the most flowery of the whole of the Orient, almost as though the master weavers had wished to blot out the sad monochrome nature and desolation of the landscape surrounding the city by creating rugs full of light, joyous colours and thousand flowers and scents. This book pays homage to four generations of ustad designers, weavers, patrons and traders who have helped to spread the name of Kirman throughout the world and make it synonymous with splendour and refinement.
