This antique Persian rug originates from the Lavar region near Kerman in Iran, known for its rich tradition of carpet weaving. The design follows the traditional Lavar Kerman style, characterized by intricate patterns and refined craftsmanship. The rug features a wool pile woven on a cotton foundation, a common material combination that contributes to its durability and soft texture.
Dating back to circa 1890, its background is predominantly ivory, providing a light and elegant contrast to the detailed motifs. The border is a striking royal blue, which delineates the edges and frames the central design, adding depth and prominence. The main color theme is ivory, consistently tying together the various pattern elements.
Lavar Kerman carpets emerged from a historical context where Kerman's renowned weaving practices were carried into Lavar by displaced weavers during times of civil strife in the early 19th century. This relocation resulted in a merging of styles from both regions, giving rise to unique and highly sought-after carpets like this one.
The designs on Lavar Kerman rugs usually incorporate a multitude of traditional Persian motifs, such as floral elements, cloud bands, and boteh shapes, symbolizing themes of nature and eternal life. The artistry evident in these carpets is a result of a meticulous weaving technique that features a high knot count, allowing for detailed and complex patterns that are both visually appealing and durable.
This particular rug stands out for its balance and symmetry, featuring an elaborate central medallion that radiates outward with a harmonious mix of floral and geometric motifs. The pattern density is high, with a rich array of vines, flowers, and leaves woven seamlessly throughout the rug. Multiple borders surround the central design, each with intricate patterns and varied backgrounds that enhance the overall intricacy.
Lavar Kerman carpets are historically significant and culturally valued, symbolizing the resilience and continuity of Persian artistry. The production of such rugs ceased around the 1920s, adding to their rarity and making them a coveted piece among collectors and interior designers alike.

Don’t take our word for it


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.
