About the Item
77185 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 11’00 x 18’06. A vision of captivating grandeur, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Kerman rug is an enchanting masterpiece—a precious relic from a golden era of textile artistry. Woven in the historic weaving ateliers of Kerman in the late 19th century, it radiates the theatrical beauty of courtly Persia, where every element—color, line, and motif—was crafted to delight the eye and stir the soul. A celestial navy blue field acts as a dramatic backdrop, intensifying the jewel-toned motifs that dance across its spellbinding surface in rhythmic elegance. The exquisite composition is as much an experience as it is an object—a woven stage, set for a performance of botanical ornament and Persian splendor.
Bursting forth in unexpected moments of color, the allover design features scrolling floral garlands, stylized palmettes, sinuous vine tendrils, and feathery blossoms—each rendered with meticulous attention to detail. These mesmerizing motifs are drawn from the rich visual lexicon of extraordinary Persian garden design, evoking both the serenity and sensuality of paradise. Crimson, sapphire, emerald, and goldenrod hues emerge like precious gems, each one seemingly lit from within by the deep saturation of natural dyes. The interplay of form and hue offers not just contrast, but drama and depth, drawing the viewer deeper into the world of the rug, where every pattern reveals a new enchantment.
Framing this intoxicating field is a traditional Persian border of refined ornament, seamlessly echoing and containing the dynamic energy of the interior pattern. With flawless composition and painterly precision, the border harmonizes the full palette—pulling together the sapphire blues, rosy reds, and verdant greens in a display of architectural poise. Flanking this central frame are complementary guard bands that add further dimension, their geometric and floral rhythms offering structure without restraint. This framing does not constrain but rather elevates the central drama, balancing energy with elegance and securing the rug’s place as a signature piece of Persian artistry.
This rare Kerman rug’s luxurious complexity is matched only by its versatility. Whether gracing a stately library with dark wood paneling, complementing the opulence of a formal salon, or adding depth to a light-filled modern space, it brings with it a sense of refined spectacle. It is ideal for those who curate their interiors with care and intention—those who seek objects of narrative and nuance, where the tactile and the visual unite. Every glance at this exceptional work of art offers something new—a flicker of color, a shift in form—revealing its irresistible charm and the timeless sophistication of its design lineage.
To live with this antique Persian Kerman rug is to embrace a world of cultivated luxury, where beauty is layered, history is tangible, and design becomes legacy. This is more than a rug—it is a one-of-a-kind heirloom, a symbol of enduring elegance, and a celebration of artisanship at its highest expression. In a world that often celebrates the fleeting, this whimsical piece stands as a tribute to the enduring—crafted not just to be seen, but to be remembered, treasured, and passed from one generation of aesthetes to the next.
Rendered in variegated shades of ink blue, navy blue, cerulean, ruby red, brick red, burgundy, wine, dark pink, tan, brown, sienna, ecru and beige with other accent colors.

1900's Antique Persian Lavar Kerman Carpet with Modern Style
Located in Dallas, TX
78354 Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 11'02 x 16'07. Woven in the poetic silence of early 20th century Persia, this hand knotted wool antique Lavar Kerman rug is a masterful ode to elegance and craftsmanship. Its velvety navy field, like a starlit garden under a midnight sky, blooms with a cascade of florals, scrolling vines, and radiant rosettes—each petal and palmette tenderly hand-knotted to form a visual symphony of order and beauty. In this formal garden of wool, celestial medallions float like full moons across the field, each ringed with palmette crowns and latticed in delicate filigree, reflecting both cosmic rhythm and earthly grace.
The heart of the rug pulses with the lyricism of Persian romanticism—delicate tendrils curve like verses in calligraphy, winding gracefully among sprigs of Shah Abbasi blossoms, peonies, and scrolling islimi. Every flourish seems guided by a painter’s hand, and indeed, Lavar Kerman weavers were known not merely as artisans, but as artists of the loom. Their deft use of color—soft rose, emerald green, sapphire, and golden saffron—creates a harmonic interplay that enchants the eye and soothes the soul, much like a verse from Hafez spoken at dusk.
Surrounding this rhapsodic field is a wide border, its backdrop the tender blush of aged parchment, upon which an arcaded vine-and-palmette design unfolds like illuminated manuscript margins. Vines dance upward in rhythmic scrolls, each curve entwined with floral clusters that evoke Persian gardens, both cultivated and imagined. Guard borders of meandering blossoms and protective motifs enclose the entire composition, as if to preserve the timeless beauty it holds within.
This antique Persian rug is not merely a floor covering—it is a historical tapestry, echoing the splendor of Qajar-era refinement and the refined flourish of Lavar Kerman’s most illustrious workshops. Its stately presence, exceptional design, and painterly palette mark it as a work of grace and nobility. To own such a piece is to cradle a chapter of Persian artistry, lovingly passed down through generations, its woven poetry still whispering softly through the fibers of time.
Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, burgundy, raspberry pink, tan, pink, sky blue, and beige with other accent colors.
