Lavar Kirmanshah Antique Rug

About the Item

An authentic one of a kind lavar Kirmanshah rug. The color palette of Laver Kirman rugs is unusually soft and delicate with a European grace. The weavers had access to the prized and extremely expensive cochineal dye which yielded the rich Renaissance blue-reds found in Kirman carpets, rather than the rust red found in other Persian rugs. The use of soft gold and yellows juxtaposed against small areas of deep, almost black indigo dyes as well as a range of soft pinks, greens, and blues give Laver Kirman their unique and popular color palette. The weavers of Laver created a very small quantity of highly elite carpets, known in the trade as Kermanshahs, a term of great respect. These are truly "best-of-the-best" carpets, and even a small roomsize piece took a number of years at great expense to create. Thus, 19th century Kermanshahs in even fair condition are highly valued.
