Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
A magnificent early 20th-century oversized Persian Kerman Lavar. Hand-knotted with remarkable precision, the carpet features a rare and highly desirable allover vase design—a hallmark of the most sought-after Kerman Lavar weavings.
The ivory field is richly adorned with an elegant array of floral vases and bouquets, rendered in a masterful palette of Persian blue, soft greens, saffron yellow, pink, and deep red. These luminous colors create visual depth and harmony, showcasing the refined aesthetic for which Kerman Lavar rugs are renowned.
A striking Persian blue border, filled with intricate floral motifs, frames the composition and enhances the rug’s stately presence. Though the piece exhibits a thin, age-softened pile and minor wear on one end—consistent with authentic use and its early 1900s origin—it remains in overall very good condition for its age.
