About the Item
19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Carpet ( 16'6" x 22'6" - 503 x 685 )
As with many large Lavar grade Kermans from the later 19th century, this rug has an allover pattern, here a clever adaptation of the harshang (crab) pattern on a navy ground. Besides the usual border arrangement with a larger central stripe with vines and palmettes, there is an unusual ivory band within the field with projections, cartouches and other elements. This carpet embodies the creative fantasies of Kerman designers and weavers.
Antique Kerman - Lavar Oversized Large Oversized Big Rug Wool Blue, Country of Origin: Iran / Persia, Circa Date: 1880s. This magnificent example of 19th-century weaving hails from the renowned workshops of Kerman, a region celebrated for producing some of the finest Iranian / Persian rugs. The Lavar subgroup, specifically, is known for its intricate detailing and sophisticated palette, distinguishing it even among other Kerman rugs.
The field presents a highly organized, dense all-over pattern, characteristic of the period's formal aesthetic. The primary ground color is a deep, saturated indigo, providing a dramatic backdrop for the complex array of stylized palmettes, flowering vines, and geometric medallions rendered in soft rose, apricot, and cream. The masterful use of this rich blue color establishes a sense of depth and enduring elegance that defines the piece.
Woven with exceptional finesse, this piece transcends standard dimensions, qualifying it as a truly large, oversized rug. The immense scale allows the weaver's detailed artistry to unfold fully, transforming the repetitive field pattern into a grand, immersive visual experience suitable for the most expansive architectural settings. The wool's quality, typical of the best Lavar production, remains lustrous despite its age.
Dating to the 1880s, this carpet is a testament to the golden age of Persian weaving, representing a pivotal moment when traditional craftsmanship met burgeoning international demand. Such pieces are not merely floor coverings; they are historical artifacts. This exceptional textile is a prime acquisition for collectors seeking distinguished antique rugs that combine historical provenance with unparalleled decorative impact.
