A vintage Persian Kerman Sampler rug. From the kharkhaneh (workshop) of Sherafat Khan in Kerman, this color sampler shows a 4 by 7 gridwork of some of the natural dye hues available. The client can pick by number and be assured that the resulting carpet will match exactly. Any good Kerman will have at least 14 colors, from ivory to nearly black, from shell pink to deep wine.
