77670 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Kerman Rug, 10'09 x 14'00.

Bask in the grandeur of a bygone era with this Late 19th Century Persian Kerman rug, a masterwork of elegance that transcends time. Hand-knotted in the celebrated Lavar workshops, this extraordinary piece embodies the pinnacle of Persian artistry—its threads steeped in history, its motifs whispering the refinement of an age when such rugs were coveted by nobility and elite collectors. The mellowed palette of softened reds, blues, and golden-beige has aged into a warm, luminous patina, each hue speaking of more than a century’s quiet grace.

At its heart lies a classical lobed medallion, exquisitely anchored with trefoil pendants and surrounded by radiant floral sprays. The corner spandrels echo this symmetry, adorned with trefoil contours, arabesque vines, and floral sprigs that entwine like poetry rendered in wool. Every signature detail demonstrates the precision and elegance for which Kerman weavers became world-renowned, a lineage of craftsmanship that once defined prestige in courts and private salons across Persia and beyond.

The border, equally regal, showcases an elaborate palmette-and-floral design, framed with double inner and outer guard bands—a hallmark of Lavar Kerman’s most masterful compositions. This stately framework does more than contain the field; it elevates it, creating a seamless dialogue between central medallion and periphery, between harmony and flourish. It is this balance of complexity and restraint that renders the rug not merely decorative, but truly transcendent.

Scarce and singular, this exquisite work of art is more than a collectible—it is a cultural heirloom. By owning such a piece, one not only acquires a symbol of refinement and status but also contributes to the preservation of Persia’s storied artistic traditions. A testament to the social good of heritage carried forward, this Kerman rug is destined to command reverence in any collection. It is not just a floor covering, but a woven manuscript of beauty, prestige, and timeless legacy.
