Antique Large Kerman - Lavar Persian Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional Persian weaving from the late 19th century exemplifies the refined artistry of Kerman's Lavar workshops. The grand central medallion, rendered in deep indigo and soft rose, anchors a field of exquisite detail, characteristic of the finest antique rugs produced during the Qajar era. The palette is notably delicate, utilizing a luminous ivory ground that allows the complex secondary colors—soft blush, sage green, and muted lavender—to achieve a remarkable depth. The field is densely populated with finely drawn vinery and palmettes, reflecting the sophisticated taste prevalent in the courtly designs of the period. Distinguished by its impressive scale, this large format rug offers a commanding presence suitable for a formal salon or grand dining space.
