Kerman Lavar 1953

Observe the profound beauty and masterful craftsmanship of this magnificent late 19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Room Size Rug. Hailing from the renowned village of Lavar, near the city of Kerman on the edge of the great desert in Southeast Persia, this rug is a testament to why Lavar carpets are world-renowned for their beauty in design and color.

This exquisite rug features a gorgeous and intricately designed central floral medallion, beautifully set against a luminous ivory color background. The central medallion, a stunning work of art in itself, is rendered in a deep navy blue and caramel with vibrant red floral designs. This focal point is surrounded by a rich tapestry of floral and paisley designs that fill the field. The paisley forms, in alternating shades of red and pink, are gracefully separated by delicate cypress trees in pale green, a traditional motif symbolizing eternal life.

The rug's captivating color combination is a testament to the artisan's skill, with a palette that includes vibrant red, serene pale yellow, and a deep midnight blue, all harmoniously woven together.

This rug is not just a floor covering but a piece of history, showcasing the masterful weaving techniques and artistic sensibilities of the late 1800s. The village of Lavar's location on the edge of the desert is often cited as a source of inspiration for the weavers to create vibrant, intricate floral designs, bringing nature's beauty into their art.
