About the Item

This magnificent late 19th century oversized Persian Kerman Lavar carpet, woven in the fourth quarter of the 1800s, stands as a true masterpiece of classical Persian weaving. Lavar Kermans represent the pinnacle of refinement from the Kerman region, celebrated for their extraordinarily fine drawing, luminous colors, and elegant compositions. At the heart of the carpet rests an exquisitely detailed central medallion, delicately articulated against a serene antique ivory and soft cream field. The luminous background is enriched with refined accents of crimson red, turquoise, blush pink, sky blue, golden yellow, and soft green, creating a sophisticated and harmonious color palette. The striking red corner spandrels are intricately adorned with floral motifs in brown, black, and ivory, providing dramatic contrast and visual balance. Every element of this composition reveals the extraordinary technical skill and artistic sensitivity of Kerman’s master weavers.

19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Room Size Rug in Ivory, Black, Burgundy
Located in Barrington, IL
Truly exceptional and highly sought-after masterpiece with this late 19th century Persian Kerman Lavar hand knotted room size Rug. Kerman Lavar rugs are celebrated for their intricate designs and sophisticated palettes, and this piece stands out for its exceptional artistry and provenance. What makes this rug so desirable is its very rare "near square" size, a format not commonly found in antique weavings, offering a unique and versatile foundation for any room. The central design features an artistically designed floral medallion set against a luminous ivory color background. The intricate beauty of the rug's design is found in the flowing scrolling vines and flowers that weave throughout both the field and its five exquisite borders. These motifs are masterfully rendered in a dramatic palette of black and red colors. The central medallion, in deep black, is further adorned with a design of vines and flowers in dark red and cream, creating a captivating focal point. The rug's composition is elegantly framed by five distinct borders, each with its own wonderful designs of vines and flowers in black, red, and cream. Adding to its historical significance and collectability, the weaver's signature is woven into the top border of the rug, a rare and cherished mark of the artisan's pride and skill. This rug is a true masterpiece of 19th-century Persian weaving, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and a timeless design.

19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Runner
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite Lavar Kerman runner from the late 1800s is a true rarity—both in format and artistry. Lavar Kerman rugs, renowned for their refined floral designs and exceptional craftsmanship, are seldom found in runner form, making this piece exceptionally desirable. The allover floral pattern is rendered in a sophisticated palette of French blue, soft pink, ivory, and rich red, gracefully woven into a field of timeless elegance. Perhaps the most unique feature is the exquisite border: a flowing arrangement of vibrant red flower bouquets set against an unusually rare green background—creating a stunning visual contrast and a harmonious frame for the composition. Woven in southern Persia in the historic city of Kerman—a major cultural and artistic center along the ancient Silk Road—this runner is not only a work of textile mastery but also a piece of living history. Its delicacy, balance, and palette reflect the artistic spirit of a region long celebrated for its contribution to Persian rug weaving.
