This antique Persian rug originates from the Lavar Kerman region and dates back to circa 1900. Woven in a traditional style, the rug's primary material is wool intricately crafted onto a cotton foundation. Its background color is café au lait, while the border is a distinguished blue. The rug's main design features are predominantly brown, contributing to its understated yet refined aesthetic.

Lavar Kerman rugs have a notable history tied to the weaving traditions of Kerman, Iran. Carpet weaving in this region dates back to the 1500s and gained prominence during the 17th century, particularly within Persian royal courts during the Safavid dynasty. Following a period of civil unrest in the early 19th century, many weavers relocated to Lavar. This migration resulted in the confluence of Kerman and Lavar styles, thus developing what are now recognized as Lavar Kerman carpets.

Artistic aspects of Lavar Kerman carpets are characterized by intricate all-over patterns and recurrent motifs, similar to medallion carpets. Common design elements include traditional Persian motifs such as cloud bands, boteh (teardrop shapes), and floral patterns that signify nature and eternal life themes. The rug's detailed craftsmanship and wide color palette add depth and vibrancy to its aesthetic.

In terms of weaving technique, Lavar Kerman rugs are renowned for their high knot count, which contributes to their soft and supple texture. This meticulous knotting process allows for the creation of complex and detailed patterns, enhancing both the visual appeal and durability of the rugs.

Culturally, these rugs are valued for their elegance and artistic integrity. The migration of artisans to Lavar exemplifies their resilience and commitment to preserving the carpet weaving tradition. Although production ceased around the 1920s, the rarity and association with skilled craftsmanship enhance the value and demand for Lavar Kerman carpets among collectors and designers.

The particular rug in question showcases a highly detailed and dense floral and vine motif. The overall design is richly decorated, ensuring a uniform and balanced appearance with repeating patterns. The primary color of the rug is a muted beige or light tan, complemented by secondary hues of blue, soft green, and brown, which blend seamlessly with the base color. The narrow outer border features a repeating floral design, with motifs that are smaller in scale compared to the central field's elaborate patterns. This rug exhibits high symmetry along both vertical and horizontal axes, indicative of balance and harmony in the design.

The density of the pattern is exceptionally high, with the intricate vine and floral motifs covering nearly the entire surface, creating a rich and vivid appearance. Together, these elements make this particular Lavar Kerman rug a fine example of traditional Persian craftsmanship.

Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.

I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!

Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.

In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!

Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
