19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Tree of Life

About the Item

This breathtaking Lavar Kerman rug is one of the most serene and visually captivating examples we’ve encountered—a true masterpiece of Persian textile art. Woven in the village of Lavar near Kerman, this piece exemplifies the elegance and sophistication for which Lavar rugs are world-renowned. The rug features a richly symbolic “Tree of Life” design, set against a midnight blue field. A central magenta-hued cypress tree rises gracefully beneath a sweeping arch, surrounded by a vibrant array of birds, flowering vases, and delicate trees. The composition is framed by sage green spandrels and a meandering ivory border adorned with stylized floral motifs. The color palette is nothing short of extraordinary: luminous shades of magenta, pale green, golden yellow, soft pink, purple, and deep midnight blue are expertly balanced, creating a visual harmony that is both bold and deeply meditative. Steeped in cultural symbolism and artistic mastery, this rug captures the poetic spirit of Persian design at its finest. Whether as a statement piece or collector’s treasure, it offers timeless beauty and historical depth.

19th Century Persian Kerman Lavar Runner
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite Lavar Kerman runner from the late 1800s is a true rarity—both in format and artistry. Lavar Kerman rugs, renowned for their refined floral designs and exceptional craftsmanship, are seldom found in runner form, making this piece exceptionally desirable. The allover floral pattern is rendered in a sophisticated palette of French blue, soft pink, ivory, and rich red, gracefully woven into a field of timeless elegance. Perhaps the most unique feature is the exquisite border: a flowing arrangement of vibrant red flower bouquets set against an unusually rare green background—creating a stunning visual contrast and a harmonious frame for the composition. Woven in southern Persia in the historic city of Kerman—a major cultural and artistic center along the ancient Silk Road—this runner is not only a work of textile mastery but also a piece of living history. Its delicacy, balance, and palette reflect the artistic spirit of a region long celebrated for its contribution to Persian rug weaving.
