Description

Truly exceptional and highly sought-after masterpiece with this late 19th century Persian Kerman Lavar hand knotted room size Rug. Kerman Lavar rugs are celebrated for their intricate designs and sophisticated palettes, and this piece stands out for its exceptional artistry and provenance.

What makes this rug so desirable is its very rare "near square" size, a format not commonly found in antique weavings, offering a unique and versatile foundation for any room. The central design features an artistically designed floral medallion set against a luminous ivory color background.

The intricate beauty of the rug's design is found in the flowing scrolling vines and flowers that weave throughout both the field and its five exquisite borders. These motifs are masterfully rendered in a dramatic palette of black and red colors. The central medallion, in deep black, is further adorned with a design of vines and flowers in dark red and cream, creating a captivating focal point.

The rug's composition is elegantly framed by five distinct borders, each with its own wonderful designs of vines and flowers in black, red, and cream. Adding to its historical significance and collectability, the weaver's signature is woven into the top border of the rug, a rare and cherished mark of the artisan's pride and skill. This rug is a true masterpiece of 19th-century Persian weaving, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and a timeless design.
