Kerman Lavar 2105

An outstanding early 20th century Persian Kerman Lavar carpet featuring the beloved Tree of Life design — one of the most symbolically resonant and visually compelling motifs in the entire repertoire of Persian weaving. Hand-knotted in the renowned village of Lavar near Kerman in Southeast Persia, the carpet's design celebrates life, growth, and spiritual connection through a serene forest of stylized trees, flowering branches, and botanical elements of extraordinary intricacy.

Set on a deep navy and midnight blue background, the composition unfolds in layers of vibrant jewel tones — sage green, soft pink, magenta, golden yellow, purple, turquoise, and red — each contributing to the carpet's vivid yet balanced character. The Tree of Life has been woven into Persian carpets for centuries as a symbol of immortality, abundance, and the connection between earth and heaven. In this magnificent Lavar example, that ancient symbolism is expressed with a technical mastery and artistic beauty that rewards extended contemplation.
