Welcome to The Persian Knot Gallery
Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World
An exquisite 19th-century Persian Kerman Lavar pictorial rug, masterfully handwoven in the late 1800s, featuring the symbolic "Tree of Life" motif. This antique piece showcases a serene camel or pale tan field anchored by a striking central magenta cypress tree, flanked by vibrantly rendered parrots and flowering urns, all sheltered beneath a graceful architectural arch. Two elegant peacocks stand symmetrically at the tree's base, enhancing the visual harmony.
Delicately detailed spandrels in soft blush red crown the upper field, while the composition is framed by three refined borders in rich camel and crimson tones, adorned with a continuous floral meander. The reverse includes a display band, allowing this rare textile to be hung as an art tapestry. Originating from the village of Lavar near Kerman in southeastern Persia, this rug exemplifies the region’s legendary craftsmanship, celebrated for its fine detail, sophisticated palettes, and lyrical composition—an exceptional addition to any curated interior or collector’s ensemble.
