Kerman, located in the desert of South Persia, has been a major center for trading and weaving. Kerman carpets were one of the first Persian rugs that made it to the Western markets. The rugs were most keenly distributed and sold throughout Europe soon after they surfaced.

Around the 19th century, the village of Kerman was destroyed amidst civil strife. Most of Kerman's weavers escaped to the village of Laver in the north of the region where they resumed the creation of their rugs. Because of this mass migration, the Persian Kerman rugs are sometimes referred to as the Laver Kerman or Laver rugs...
