10 x 14 Antique Persian Lavar Kerman Rug 73582

73582 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Lavar Kerman Rug, 10'00 x 14'01.

Woven at the confluence of poetry and prestige, this hand-knotted wool Persian Lavar Kerman rug from the late 19th century is an exquisite, one-of-a-kind masterpiece born of golden age refinement. Every thread is a verse in a grand epic of Persian craftsmanship, with a regal central medallion—anchored by trefoil pendants—rising like an architectural dome above a garden of intricate symbolism. Washed in a golden beige patina that whispers of antique parchment, its sumptuous surface glows with the gentle radiance of centuries past, capturing the essence of cultivated splendor once reserved for the noble elite.

Across its magnificent field, an allover botanical arabesque unfurls, not merely as ornament but as allegory. Splayed palmettes lend rhythmic elegance, while lotus blossoms whisper of eternal rebirth. Power blooms in peonies; beauty glimmers in rosettes; fertility pulses through the pomegranate buds. Tulips blossom with the promise of prosperity, while hyacinths, irises, and lilies each offer their spiritual benedictions—symbols of regeneration, freedom, and divine purity. This rich language of florals, both sacred and seasonal, bestows the rug with a moral and metaphysical depth that transcends time.

In each corner, ornate spandrels cradle overflowing vases, their verdant contents cascading into the central field in a joyous gesture of abundance. Rendered in delicate curvilinear lines and exuberant Rococo flourishes, these enigmatic motifs dissolve seamlessly into this Persian treasure, embodying the Lavar Kerman tradition’s masterful fusion of exuberance and equilibrium. The impeccable design evokes the notion of paradise gardens—walled sanctuaries of harmony, contemplation, and grace—that once adorned the courts of Persian royalty and philosophers alike.

The composition is framed with an enchanting, celestial navy blue border brimming with scrolling vinery and floral arabesques, like a jeweled diadem surrounding an imperial portrait. Flanked by inner and outer floral meander guard bands, the border gives rhythm and resolution to the composition, enclosing the visual poem within a classical cadence. Shades of celadon, baby blue, sky, and cerulean dance across a field of honeyed gold, earthen tan, and soft brown—creating a color story that feels both grounded and celestial, both opulent and tranquil.

To encounter this exclusive work of art is to step into an experience of rare cultural and aesthetic inheritance. It is a precious textile that speaks not of fashion, but of legacy—a symbol of elevated taste, meaningful artistry, and quiet power. For the collector, the curator, or the connoisseur of elegance, this Lavar Kerman rug is not merely a furnishing, but a monument to beauty’s enduring purpose: to stir the soul, elevate the spirit, and root the present in the timeless.
