About the Item

Stunning Antique Persian Kermanshah - Lavar Unique Color Palette - Denim, Ice, Indigo, Berry, Caramel, Copper, Camel About: The most beautiful 100+-year-old kermanshah-lavar we've ever seen woven in this style. Usually, you don't find them in this color palette - you will find much more true reds, scarlets, and more of a brick-rust - and never with this incredible ice-blue denim color as the color of the field!!! The 4 corner spandrels are delicately designed with a beautiful berry, an incredible linen color, and those soft caramel hues like the arabesque vines surrounded by flora and leaves. Both gaurd borders that flank the main border are made of copper with abrash of rusty hues and back to copper - so so good. This piece has a great body and is a bit of a diva - it is drop-dead gorgeous and in better shape than most of these antique rugs woven in this specific part of the country, however, if you're planning to use this in your highest traffic area, I would say go with a different piece. This is perfect for a bedroom because most of the main wear will be covered up, or in the dining room as the table will cover the most worn areas as well. If you do use it in a living room, den, or office, just make sure you are minding. There are only two relatively noteworthy parts and they can both be minimized by a coffee table etc. All in all, we are securing those areas for you so it will not be super bad at all, but I always error on the side of being overly cautious even when it's unnecessary. These pieces have lived over 100 years and they very much have another century to go!! I have to reiterate this point one more time - that we will never see another piece from this family in this size/color/age combo again!! Size: 11.3 x 14 Age: Antique c.1920 Pile: Low and distressed throughout with genuine age-related wear - Over 100 Years of patina with the typical wear you see on these specific types of pieces. There are areas in this rug that are worn down enough that we are going to secure to reinforce and give the rug the attention it deserves. There are areas patches of burlap-like material on the back of the rug that has been placed to also help the most distressed parts. So, clearly whoever had this piece for 100+ years cherished it so much they continued to responsibly attend to it. This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).
