About the Item
This exquisite late 19th-century Lavar Kerman Persian carpet, crafted circa 1880, showcases the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship for which Kerman weavers were renowned. Measuring 15'3"x23'5", the piece features a striking medallion design, surrounded by intricate floral motifs that radiate a sense of timeless elegance.
The jewel-tone palette includes deep ruby reds, sapphire blues, emerald greens, and soft golds, harmoniously blended to create a vibrant yet balanced aesthetic. The central medallion is exquisitely detailed, with arabesque elements that transition seamlessly into the richly decorated field, filled with lush floral patterns and vine scrolls.
The carpet is in very good condition for its age, with the pile retaining much of its original luster and detail. Minor, expected wear consistent with its age adds to the character and authenticity of this antique piece. The edges and fringes are intact, indicative of careful preservation.
Lavar Kerman carpet exemplifies the sophistication of Persian textile artistry from the late 19th century, making it a highly collectible and decorative piece for enthusiasts of antique Persian rugs.
Late 19th-century Lavar Kerman Persian carpet, crafted around 1880, is a remarkable artifact of Persian weaving heritage. Originating from the Kerman province in southeastern Iran, a region long celebrated for its mastery of textile arts, this carpet represents the pinnacle of late-Qajar era craftsmanship. Lavar (or Ravar), a small village near Kerman, was particularly esteemed for producing some of the finest Persian carpets of the time. The artisans of Lavar were known for their exceptional skill in creating intricately detailed designs with a finesse that catered to both Persian nobility and the burgeoning European market.
The medallion design of this carpet, surrounded by an ornate floral field, reflects the quintessential aesthetic of Lavar Kerman rugs from this period. The patterns draw inspiration from traditional Persian gardens, symbolizing paradise, and are executed with an extraordinary attention to detail. The jewel-tone palette of ruby reds, sapphire blues, emerald greens, and golds reveals the advanced dyeing techniques of the region, utilizing natural sources such as madder root and indigo.
By the late 19th century, Persian carpets were highly sought after in the West, and Lavar Kerman weavings became prized exports. Wealthy European and American collectors often commissioned or acquired these pieces for their opulent homes. This particular carpet, with its vibrant colors and intricate medallion, likely adorned a formal interior, serving both as a functional floor covering and a status symbol.
Remarkably well-preserved for its age, this piece speaks to the durability and quality of the materials and techniques employed by Lavar weavers. The wool used was finely spun and densely knotted, ensuring longevity. While minor signs of wear are expected, the carpet’s excellent condition today is a testament to both its craftsmanship and the care it has received over the years.
This Lavar Kerman Persian carpet is not only a decorative masterpiece but also a living record of the cultural and artistic exchange between Persia and the wider world during the late 19th century. Its beauty and historical significance make it a treasured relic of an era when Persian carpets epitomized luxury and refinement.
