About the Item

A beautifully detailed vintage Persian Kerman Lavar rug, handwoven in the first half of the 20th century and featuring the iconic Tree of Life pattern set against a rare ivory field. Known for their elaborate designs and luminous palettes, Kerman Lavar rugs are celebrated for their artistry and deep cultural symbolism. This striking piece incorporates a range of delicate floral motifs and symbolic elements, including a graceful row of cypress trees at the lower edge—an enduring Persian emblem of eternity and resilience. A rich color palette of green, gold, soft blue, and deep red breathes life into the composition. The upper spandrels, in vivid red, bloom with floral detailing, adding a bold and captivating contrast. An elegant ivory border, adorned with trees and blossoms, harmonizes beautifully with the central design. Originating from the village of Kerman, situated on the edge of Persia’s vast desert, these rugs reflect the weavers' desire to capture nature’s vibrancy in their arid surroundings. This piece exemplifies that vision—bringing timeless beauty, symbolic depth, and warmth to any refined interior. Perfect as a statement floor covering or artful wall hanging, this Kerman Lavar rug adds historical charm and soulful design to traditional and eclectic spaces alike.
