About the Item

An early 20th-century Persian Lavar Kerman floral carpet, circa 1920, represents the rich tradition of Persian weaving at the height of its craftsmanship. Kerman, a city in southeastern Iran, has long been a renowned center for carpet production, with its carpets highly valued for their exceptional quality and artistry. The Lavar Kerman rugs are especially celebrated for their fine weaving, often characterized by their exquisite floral patterns and soft, subtle color palettes. This particular carpet features an allover floral design, where intricate blossoms, vines, and leaves are woven into a harmonious, repeating pattern that covers the entire field. The dominant ivory/light blue background serves as a serene foundation, offering a calming, almost ethereal quality. Ivory and soft cream tones accentuate the design, providing a delicate contrast that enhances the overall softness of the piece. Subtle accents of soft colors and floral motifs, contributing to the carpet's refined elegance. The fine weaving of this Lavar Kerman carpet is indicative of the skill and labor involved in its creation. Handwoven with high-quality wool, the pile is dense and plush, yet smooth to the touch, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship. The intricate detailing in the floral design speaks to the artist’s dedication, with each motif finely drawn and executed, allowing for a complex, textured finish that is both visually appealing and tactilely satisfying. Historically, the 1920s represented a transitional period for Persian carpets. During this time, Persian carpets began to be exported more widely to Western markets, and the demand for more intricate, yet softer color schemes grew. The influence of European art movements such as Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement was evident in the evolution of Persian rug design, resulting in the use of more delicate tones, like the soft blues and ivories seen in this piece. The Lavar Kerman carpets were particularly appreciated by collectors and interior designers for their ability to combine beauty, durability, and timeless appeal. This carpet, with its finely woven construction and understated elegance, embodies the artistry of early 20th-century Persian weaving. It stands as both a historical artifact and a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Persian craftsmanship. Carpet Measures: 10'8"x18'
