77622 Rare Late 19th Century Antique Persian Lavar Kerman Rug, 14'00 x 20'02. From the heart of Kerman’s most celebrated weaving ateliers comes this Late 19th Century Persian Lavar Kerman rug, a true connoisseur’s treasure embodying the opulence and refinement of Imperial Persia. Woven in hand-spun wool with masterful precision, its delicate boteh design unfurls across the field in a mesmerizing choreography of form and meaning. This is no ordinary textile — it is an heirloom of Persian aristocracy, saturated with symbolism, grace, and the enduring elegance of a bygone age. The all-over boteh lattice, each paisley motif unfurling like a sprout, a flame, or a tear-shaped cypress, is at once ornamental and deeply symbolic. Long revered as an emblem of life, regeneration, and eternal growth, the boteh becomes a meditation on continuity, mirrored here in infinite repetition. Interlaced with scrolling arabesques, stylized blossoms, and weather-softened abrash striations, the composition radiates a lyrical quality — as though the rug itself breathes with the rhythms of nature. Time has only heightened its beauty, the muted palette of soft blues, faded crimsons, and parchment tones blending into a patina that whispers of centuries past. Framing this exquisite field is an enchanting millefleur cypress tree border, harmoniously flanked by layers of floral guard bands. Each delicate detail serves as a botanical manuscript, a woven garden brimming with symbolic depth. Subtle cartouche inscriptions in Kufic calligraphy further authenticate its noble provenance, elevating this Lavar Kerman beyond the decorative into the realm of cultural artifact. Every knot tells a story of devotion, artistry, and the relentless pursuit of beauty.
