Kerman Lavar 1872

You will be enchanted by the profound beauty and historical significance of this magnificent Late 19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar area rug hand-knotted in the late 1800s by master weavers from the village of Lavar, located on the edge of the great desert in Southeast Persia.

The rug features a beautiful and harmonious central medallion design, rendered in a powerful combination of red and black. The medallion is gracefully set on a luminous pale yellow color field, which provides a serene and sophisticated canvas. The corner spandrels are also in a striking red, creating a cohesive and captivating composition.

The floral design throughout the rug is rendered in a delicate and elegant palette of red, light blue, and cream, which stands out beautifully against the pale yellow background. The entire composition is expertly framed by a border in a matching pale yellow/cream color, which features its own intricate floral design.

The artistry of this rug is deeply rooted in its environment. Kerman and Lavar weavers used the color and flower designs in their rugs to bring some of nature’s beauty and vibrancy to the dry desert landscape they inhabited. This rug perfectly represents this tradition, with its powerful design and beautiful colors.
