This 9’10” x 17’6” antique hand-knotted Lavar Kerman Persian rug embodies the refined artistry and meticulous craftsmanship of 19th- and early 20th-century Persian weaving. Lavar Kerman rugs are prized for their intricate floral and medallion designs, and this piece features an elaborate all-over pattern with scrolling vines, palmettes, and delicate blossoms arranged with perfect symmetry. The rich palette of deep reds, warm golds, and soft blues is enhanced by subtle gradations, created with natural dyes that have aged gracefully, lending the rug a luminous patina.
The rug’s generous dimensions make it ideal for a grand space, allowing the detailed composition to unfold across its nearly 18-foot length. Each knot is executed with precision, contributing to a dense, durable pile that reflects the high-quality wool and the discerning skill of Lavar Kerman weavers. Its combination of scale, historical character, and exquisite patterning makes it not only a functional floor covering but also a statement piece of collectible Persian textile art.
