This antique Lavar Kerman rug originates from Kerman, Iran, and dates back to around 1920. Crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, it reflects the traditional weaving techniques that the region is known for. The rug features a navy background with a wine-colored border, and the main colors include shades of blue, deep reds, greens, cream, and gold.
Lavar Kerman rugs are known for their intricate designs that often feature floral and paisley motifs. This particular rug showcases a dense array of such patterns, with intertwining vines, blossoms, and foliage creating a lush appearance. The complex and detailed decoration is characteristic of Lavar Kerman carpets, which were crafted with a significant knot count providing a soft, supple texture.
The primary colors of this rug include deep reds and blues, which form the dominant base, enhanced by accents of green, cream, and gold. These colors add depth and vibrancy to the overall design, contributing to the rug's dramatic and elegant look. The border of the rug is defined and complements the central area, containing repeating floral patterns and intricate motifs in contrasting hues.
Symmetry is a notable feature of this rug, with each side mirroring the other both longitudinally and latitudinally. This balanced design underscores the high level of craftsmanship involved in creating the rug. The pattern is densely packed, leaving minimal areas of the plain background visible, enhancing the rug's luxuriant and opulent appearance.
Historically, Lavar Kerman rugs originated from Kerman, Iran, which has a long and documented tradition of carpet weaving dating back to the 1500s. The region was renowned for producing fine carpets for Persian royal courts during the Safavid dynasty. Following civil strife in the early 19th century, many weavers migrated to Lavar, merging styles from Kerman and Lavar, resulting in the development of Lavar Kerman carpets. These rugs hold significant cultural value and are prized by collectors and designers for their elegance and artistic integrity. Production ceased around the 1920s, adding to their rarity and value in the oriental carpet market.
