Antique Persian Lavar Kerman Oriental Carpet, Handmade, White, Navy, Jewel Tone

About the Item

The Lavar Kerman Rug from Persia, dating to around 1850, is a striking example of 19th-century Persian weaving artistry. Measuring 6'5" by 8'6", this finely woven piece exhibits the elegance and intricate craftsmanship typical of the Kerman region, known for producing some of the most exquisite Persian rugs of its time. The rug’s clean white ivory ground provides a pristine canvas that highlights its intricate design and vibrant colors. This neutral background serves as a perfect foil for the rich jewel tones that adorn the rug, creating a stunning contrast and emphasizing the depth and brilliance of the colors. The ivory ground not only enhances the visual impact of the jewel tones but also imbues the rug with a sense of sophistication and timelessness. The jewel tones used in the rug are deeply saturated and include rich hues such as emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, and amethyst purple. These colors are woven into elaborate patterns that showcase the weaver's skill in achieving both harmony and contrast. The patterns often feature intricate floral motifs, medallions, and curvilinear designs that are characteristic of Kerman rugs. Each element of the design is carefully crafted, demonstrating a high level of artistry and attention to detail. In very good condition, this rug retains much of its original beauty and structure. The quality of the weaving, combined with the use of fine materials, ensures that the rug has remained in excellent shape despite the passage of time. The wool or silk used in its creation contributes to its luxurious texture and durability, allowing it to maintain its vibrant colors and intricate patterns for over a century and a half. The mid-19th century provenance of the rug adds historical value, reflecting the zenith of Persian rug-making during this period. The Lavar Kerman Rugs from this era are celebrated for their high-quality craftsmanship and elegant designs, making them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Overall, this 6'5" x 8'6" Lavar Kerman Rug from Persia is a beautiful example of mid-19th century Persian weaving. Its clean ivory ground, rich jewel tones, and meticulous condition make it a captivating piece, offering a glimpse into the exquisite artistry and luxurious textiles of 19th-century Persia.
