Antique Oversize Persian Gold Floral Kirman Lavar Rug, circa 1880s-1900s
About the Item
This is an exquisite antique oversize Persian gold floral Kirman Lavar rug circa 1880s-1900s measuring 17 x 23 ft in pristine condition.
The carpets produced in Lavar are often included in the general category of Kerman rugs (as Lavar is a small village located 80 miles north of Kerman), yet the reputation of this small town surpasses many larger cities. The village of Lavar has a long-standing reputation for producing some of the finest rugs in the Kerman region.
Lavar is a trade term and linguistic permutation that is used in the west to describe rugs produced in the village of Ravar. Over the years, other regional towns adapted Ravar’s elegant floral style and impeccable construction techniques.
According to explanations developed by historians, Lavar rose to prominence in the 1800s when artisan craftspeople fled the city of Kerman, which was under attack. In the village of Lavar, these carpet weavers developed their own style that incorporated voluminous floral patterns woven in an impressive array of colors. Lavar rugs also include detailed pictorials rendered in a style similar to the pictorial scenes produced in Qum and Isfahan. Many early Lavar rugs feature kaleidoscopic floral patterns and curvilinear vine scrolls decorated with a variety of vibrant and subdued colors. Lavar rugs feature supremely detailed patterns, innovative colors and discontinuous borders with elements that invade neighboring areas. The impeccable craftsmanship, tightly placed knots and exceptionally diverse range of colors set Lavar rugs apart from those created in Persia’s other great carpet-producing cities.
