About Kerman Lavar Rugs:
Antique Kerman Lavar rugs are masterpieces of Persian weaving, celebrated for their intricate designs, high-quality materials, and historical significance. They continue to be prized by collectors and interior designers around the world, representing a timeless connection to the rich cultural heritage of Iran.
The city of Kerman has been a renowned center for Persian rug weaving since the 16th century. Kerman rugs are known for their high quality, intricate designs, and durable craftsmanship. Lavar (or Ravar) is a small village within the Kerman region, recognized for producing some of the finest Kerman rugs. Rugs from Lavar are often referred to as Lavar Kerman or Kerman Lavar rugs, indicating their superior quality.
Natural dyes derived from plants, insects, and minerals are used to create vibrant and lasting colors. Common colors include rich reds, deep blues, soft beiges, and various shades of green and gold.
Kerman Lavar rugs are known for their high knot density, often exceeding 200 knots per square inch, which allows for detailed and intricate patterns. The weaving process is meticulous and time-consuming, reflecting the weavers' skill and dedication. Central medallion designs are common, often surrounded by elaborate borders. The borders usually contain floral and vine motifs that complement the central design. Kerman Lavar rugs are renowned for their elaborate floral patterns, including roses, lilies, and other garden-inspired motifs. Curvilinear designs with flowing lines and intricate details are typical.
Kerman Lavar rugs were highly sought after by royalty and the aristocracy in Persia and beyond. They were often commissioned as special gifts or used to adorn palaces and grand homes. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kerman Lavar rugs gained international acclaim. They were exported to Europe and America, where they became symbols of luxury and refined taste. These rugs represent the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Iran. They are valued not only for their beauty but also as cultural artifacts that tell the story of Persian craftsmanship and aesthetics.
